Blade Comparison...

Oh---sorry.

No idea on these.

My background and experience simply categorises these as a Bugis variation.

Conversation with friends, simply refer this hilt form as 'ultraman' (unofficial, of course).

"ultraman"?

artinya?

Like Superman, maybe?

Ultraman (wiki)
Ultraman (in action)

reminds me of my childhood days.

OK---so my facetious remark was close to the truth?

What is the connection with the hilt, though?

Just that it's facial features; big bulging eyes with a headgear of sort, nose (or beak) and ultraman's type mouth... (might be imaginary, though).

Generally, still not much clue except that it's probably Riau, Sumatra.

Most likely a variant of the Bugis hilt form.

OK---got it. Thanks.
