Bill,
Certainly looks like it.

What book is the picture from ? It looks as though it is something I need to get hold of.
Thanks
Royston

I am not sure from which book this picture is.
But I have it too and got it from mandaukudi's website : www.mytribalworld.com
He has regular free downloads of interesting old articles on weapons.

The illustration is from:
Volz, W. Nord-Sumatra. Band I + II, Berlin 1909 + 1912, Dietrich Reimer (Ernst Vohsen)
There are a few pages with illustrations of swords and knives, all of the same quality as the illustration above.
