Hello Ridho,
Welcome to the forum!
Do I understand correctly that you have Mandailing roots? If you could contribute any insights into traditional blades (keris here or others over at the main "ethno" forum) that would be really great!
I know there are many Mandailing living in diasporas all over Southeast Asia; knowledge on genuine pieces from the traditional culture seems to be very limited though; extant antique pieces seem to be rare - might also get commonly misattributed, too.
Thanks a lot in advance!
Regards,
Kai
