Hello dear members,

here a dagger (badik?) from Sunda (West Java) made in Tjipatjing 1907 for sharing and discussion, handle from bone or deer horn, scabbard fittings from alpacca taken possible from a dutch packaging/box.
I think this is a seldom seen sort of dagger, would be nice to know if there are similar examples out there!

310 mm long inside scabbard, 286 mm without, blade 5 mm thick near the handle, 116 gram.
