Then I know which book you mean.
I donīt think the hilts and the swords shown in this book is that close to Royīs chopper. In the Leiden collection there are 2 resembling swords found in Yamdena. But I havenīt seen any "closer resembling" Royīs blade- and hilt-wise in Leiden. On my later chopper I also suspect that itīs SE Sulawesi, both sheath and blade. Michael |

very nice Pade you have there. The patina of the handle is very good and the guard of the handle is typic for a Pade what I have seen until now. It seems to be from black horn. The handle byself is IMHO from white water buffalo horn, a rare material. Again, a very nice and unusual Pade. sajen |
