Thanks Michael,

You are fast

How could I forget to check Artzi's website...

Only one that resembles my hulu type :http://www.oriental-arms.com/photos.php?id=2335

And one very interesting type of hulu that looks somewhere inbetween hulu tumpang and hulu peusangang : http://www.oriental-arms.com/item.php?id=2236

thanks for the info.
Strange by the way that often this ivory mouthpiece is not combined with gold on the handles.
in my opinion these materials both could indicate wealth and status.

Willem,

I just tried some mind-reading...
Actually I find this hilt most interesting of the samples

I agree that I haven't either seen gold crowns and ivory scabbard mouth as an original combination, which indeed is strange.

Hello Michael,

Yes, that one is very interesting indeed.
Also the blade with the protrusions is somethin I have not seen on a sikin before.

Too bad that it has a replacement scabbard. You wonder what the original was like.
