It could also an indication off heads that are taken Brass dots

And heavy blade's could also an indication but I don t now if this is with these rare blade's .

I have seen only a few .

But the Handle on the second one very old style I cannot say wich one is older .

So the best thing is sending both to me and I wll see if I can tell

Dear Michael,

Fully agree in your opinion :

I am not that convinced on his conclusions, seeing more resemblance with the Dayak spearblades, as well as maybe the Dohong, to the Bayu.

But that is mainly based on the infor from this forum and common sense.
Further sad enough there are not so many of these blades around.
So prices are probably far beyond the normal collectors budget.

I agree with Ben, If someone can sent me some bayu to study them, that would surely be nice

Best regards,
Willem
