Probably Sumatran and not Moro

[VVV]

Dear Ian and others,

Just came back home and read your posts on my new sword.
Actually I wasn't aware exactly what kind of sword it was when I bid on it and I still don't know.
But I do know that I like it.
The blade looks Sumatran, the hilt looks a bit Borneo and the patterns on the scabbard looks a bit Sulawesi according to one of the main contributors to the van Z book who I discuss odd examples with now and then.
Most of my collection is "textbook swords" but as an enthusiast I find my several odd ones much more challenging and exciting.
Probably I share this interest with most of you?
Why else have a forum like this if you could find it all in Stone, van Z, Cato etc?

If anyone of you have a picture of a Katungung from the books of W Voltz (Kai or Ian?) I would really appreciate it.
I am a bit hesitant because of the lacking resemblence of the hilt etc. according to the van Z book (pict 534).
Hope to return the favour in the future...

Thanks,

Michael
