Danny, the spear blade is not Javanese.
The beautiful shaft and sopal are unlike any old Javanese pieces that I have seen. |

They both share the form of the silvered one in the Kelling Hall spears I have retained and in general, the spear heads are of Sumatran/Aceh form. Quote:

Hi Danny,
like I write by the other lance, very very nice. Another vote for not warangan but maybe an mild etch with vinegar. Regards, Detlef |

Everybody rhanks for the great joining in the discusion !!
Definitly no warangan for the spears , maybe a etch but maybe i just leave them like this . For the compare i did ''steal'' a photo from the spears from kelling hal , hope this won,t be a problem. It looks like they are probaly from atjeh , if this is so...i have a problem..i don,t have atjeh pieces, so have to find some then  @ Willem I look forward to youre photo,s Here the photo,s tpo compare the spear head , only the ferrules are still different |

I also checked the RMV. Difficult to say. These might be Atjeh, but just the same it might be any other part of Sumatra. The ferrule is not specifically Atjeh, nor is the blade. Blades like this one are also found on karo batak "lembing raja" The octagonal wood might be the best indication pointing towards Atjeh at this moment  Still nice lances in very nice condition
