Aceh peudeueng

[Rick]

here are a couple of pictures from the replacement camera. It is defective and I will probably send it back; but it does take pictures after a fashion.
Sorry for the poor quality.

Very nice, Rick, thanks for adding it! Still better quality than my museum pictures.

Hello Werecow,
I have a a peudeung with a very similar blade :

Very nice, I like those crisp lines! Are there any signs of laminations or pattern welding? And is that gold on the hilt or is that just a trick of the light?

Yes there are some visible laminations under the oxidation.
On the hilt isn't gold but residues of old product to be cleaned such as Mirror.

You can remove such residues with a small brass brush, at least I have good experiences with it!

BTW: Another nice peudeueng!
