Thank you!!!

I found only one Teukoe Yu Adam in Het Gedenkboek van de Marechaussee. (see Acehbooks.org)

Teukoe Adam alias Teukoe Di Oedjong as an important Panglima of Toekoe Di Mata Ie alias Teukoe Teukoe Di Paja Bakong (his real name was Teukoe Mohamed Chatib of the religion school in Paja Bakong)
Teukoe Adam was killed by a Dutch Marechaussee patrol in September 1903 under command of sergeant Duyts.

Indeed very exiting and an extremly rare find to have a name at all let alone a name that can be traced and is inlaid in gold - very very nice

Congrats !!
Very nice addition to any collection.
Military weapons that can be traced are plenty around...

But tribal named is rare, and than even tracable to the original owner.

Still hoped it would say "send me to Willem"

Very nice find. And in such good condition.
Where did you find it ? dutch collection ?
