Just wanna share about Hilt's name in my village or region The second Hilt is called "LUDAY" which means a DEMON EEL , the king of water/ river, an eel without ears Rumour has (myth) some people often see it when they go fishing People in Some villages at LAMPUNG-SUMATERA says "LUDAY = DRAGON" I still don't know why it's called GARUDA ??? In my opinion there is no resemblance at all with Garuda/ Bird |

Thanks for the information, could you confirm that this type of hilt is commonly found in the Palembang and Lampung areas? This would reinforce the opinion that these hilts originate from South Sumatra and not North Java. Regards |
