Does anyone knows where pics from Atjeh 1650 can be found

Not Aceh pictures but in trying to find earlier information on this sword I did find more battle flags


Battle flags used by Acehnese troops, seized by the Dutch in 1540 in battle at Barus (Tapanuli, North Sumatra) which at that time was under the authority of Aceh. The flag contains a pcture of Zulfakar (the woard of syidina Ali) and a prayer to arouse the fighting spirit. Size : 130 x 270 cm (top)





They support your information about this sword being an older form
