The fact is that you're from Netherland and at one time for a few hundred years Indonesia was under Netherland.

Dea Mohd,

Yes, i am aware of our past.
So basically a lot of indonesian sword types are more or less known to me.
I bought it via a local website without any reference to previous owners/history.

I must say that when you bump into small "collections" from our colonial past, it is quite common to find Moroccan jambiya knifes and other african weapons.
Simply becasue often ships sailed around africa or later via Suez, but then stopped in Casablanca for various reasons.
Everything collected on its way than is labelled by the family as " Indonesian" . Or "Indie" as we called it before 1948.


All together I see a lot of Dha voters.
Interesting.
