Hi Detlef,
here is my pedang. IMHO it is Sumatran. What is your opinion ? Sorry for the bad pics and thanks in advance. Gio |

Sorry, Gio, we do need better pics!
Especially close-ups of the hilt would be important (and also a full view of the scabbard). Any special features of the blade? Since this is a very different beast, I'd suggest to open a new thread for your piece. Regards, Kai |

look to the tripartite handle collar and as well the flow of the scabbard, very similar to the both examples from naga82 so I would think that your example is from Lombok. But like Kai I would like to see better pictures. Regards, Detlef |

Here is an example within the context of culture.
Maybe there are some clues. |

I thought that possibly the location could be suggested by the arms the men are carrying. We see a Piso Podang there and what looks like a Sumatra pedang; those spears; could they suggest a locale? |

Those gentlemen seem to be Batak.
The spears appear to be not very distinct but the guy carrying them seems to have a lopah petawaran in his belt. Regards, Kai |

yes, I've noticed the piso podang and the possible lopah petawaran but the right guy seems to wear a badik in his belt!?! And the pedang don't fit really as well. So my question to Rick. Regards, Detlef |

Hello Gio, very nice pedang!  Still would say it's a Lombok one but others may have a different opinion.Regards, Detlef |
