			I recently bought a cojang / Co-jang with a decoration on the back that is 'almost' identical to a Ladieng that was already in my collection. 
		
		
		
			Is this a big coincidence or is it a rather common decoration ? I would like to see some more aceh/sumatra weapons with these decorations but most books only show small pictures and no details. any help from forumites

			Nice swords! I would say that these are a common decoration foun on these swords. I really do like the matching cracks on the hilts  
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	  Funny I two Sikin swords with identical cracks in the hilt I have yet to see one that doesn't have one.    Lew  |
