Good grief!
There is no end to the variety of shapes and names of Indonesian weapons.
Albert, we need another book, or Vol.2 :-)
Seriously, it seems that every nook and cranny of every village on every speck of an island had its own variant. And I am not talking about Krises.....
In comparison, even Caucasian kindjals look monotonous.

Hello Ariel,

Albert show a few examples in his book at page 70/71, No. 261, 262 and I think that also 270 is a Pade.
