When I joined the forum about 2.5 years ago I asked the same question - since then I have read and learned a lot.
Just wrote a small article on Aceh status weapons for a Dutch weapons collectors magazine - this is the reference list of books for that article:
1 Traditional Weapons of the Indonesian Archipelago, Albert G. van Zonneveld, Leiden 2001
2 Rentjongs, G. Bisseling en P. Vermeieren, Antwerpen 1988
3 Catalogus van ’s Rijks Ethnographisch Museum, Deel VI - Atjeh, Gajo- en Alaslanden, H.W. Fischer, Leiden 1912
4 Atjeh, J. Kreemer, Leiden 1922
5 De Inlandsche kunstnijverheid in Nederlandsch Indië, Deel V – de bewerking van niet edele-metalen, J.E. Jasper en Mas Pirngadie, ’s Gravenhage 1930
6 Hands of time - The crafts of Atjeh, Barbara Leigh, Jakarta 1989
Only 1 and 6 are in English, otherwise in Dutch.
Of number 3 and 4 I know they are available for free on
www.acehbooks.org in PDF.
Number 2 is part of a small series - this one not but the others of that series on Aceh weapons are available on Arjans website for free:

Hope this helps, Erik
