Unknown Sumatra (?) dagger

[colin henshaw]

Hi

I don't really know much about South East Asian weapons, but I believe this to be a badik from Indonesia/Sumatra ? as you mention. They come in slightly different styles, sometimes with ivory handles, silver etc.

Looks a nice piece.

Hi Colin,

thank's for comment! You may be correct since I have done some research more and found a very similar dagger in the first book from Jean Greffioz which he named badik from Sumatra.
Would be nice to see a similar piece more from the collection of a member.

Regards,
