More info about Atjeh weapons?

Hello Erik,

Welcome to the forum! That's an impressive collection of yours!

Nice to have more people posting on Aceh pieces...

Here's a link to one of my rencong .

Drop me an email via the forum and I'll try to send you some PDFs on Aceh.

Regards,
Kai

Nice and cosy Aceh 'get together'

Welcome Erik !

Some time ago we had a discussion about the combi of inlay and golden crowns.
I see that Erik also has a Sikin with gold inlay and a buffalo horn hilt showing remains of a golden crown. Same as Kai's rencong and Fernando's Sikin.

Ps. does anyone have an Aceh sewar in their collection ?

Hello Willem,

I see that Erik also has a Sikin with gold inlay and a buffalo horn hilt showing remains of a golden crown. Same as Kai's rencong and Fernando's Sikin.

Yup, I noticed that, too.

I think we're getting a convincing pattern here. (4 examples and counting...)

Ps. does anyone have an Aceh sewar in their collection ?

With gold/suassa decoration?

I think that Fig. 70B in Jean Greffioz's keris book shows an interesting rencong/sewar intermediate.

Regards,
Kai

I only want to thank RhysMichael and Mandaukudi you for all this references, links ans files. This support to a fellow collector is exemplar. I am not lucky enough to have this kind of weapons, but I least I collect information and photos.

I cannot take credit for most of what I shared. I did stumble on some of it on my own but the vast majority came from folks here on this forum that were willing so share with me. So I am just carrying on the tradition they started.

Yes maybe not pointy but if they had the gold ferrule always see the marks

If you buy this year your glasses you will be payed by the tax off the gouverment 823.00 euro x 113 % you will get it back in may 2009

so you buy new glasses and get back more from the Dutch gouverment .

This is the last year that it is possible . (this is for all the Dutch people or people that pay tax in the Netherlands)

An nice tip from me

I have a couple but the only one with crowns is this one which is later than the other crowned blades.
Its blade isn't so exciting as it needs some more cleaning.

I know that Michael remembers this one (and others like it), but the rest of you all might not have seen it.

1st :
Michael,
Very nice sewar. Is it silver ?
This is something that you really don't see often.
But still I think I like rencong better.

2nd :
Ben,

but if they had the gold ferrule always see the marks

Here is the thread : http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...highlight=aceh
and I am boroughing Fernando's pciture just for this thread.
For the record, Ben, you think this is not a mark from a missing ferrule.
Then I assume you regard this as a normal way of finishing the handle of a sikin

[Dajak]

Yes this is seen many times .

it is beter you go to groeneveld

Willem,

It's guilt silver. I also like the rencong better.
Here is my favourite version of crowns, gold and enamel.
