Default Aceh weapon identification

Hello,

I recently bought an estate collection that was accumulated from the 1920's-1950's. Got a few nice items for my collection but there were several items unknown to me.

I identified an Aceh sikin sword using this forum .

There is another similar piece I didn't find. the blade shape resembled the sikin but nuch smaller and slightly curved with a different type grip.

Hopefully someone can give it a name from my pictures.

The Sikin grip



The sikin and the smaller piece



The smaller piece with scabbard



Thanks for any help

matt

Thumbs up

Hello Matt,

Welcome to the forum!

That's a nice antique sikin/peudeueng panjang with a well-carved hulu peusangan.

The other blade is not from Aceh though: Seems to be a Filipino (Luzon) piece with some age (first half of 20th c.?). The blade shape is less common - what's the length?

Regards,
Kai

I was hoping one of the folks that know a great deal more than I do would answer this. I am not really sure what the second piece is but my initial feeling is that the hilt looks to be from Java. I hope someone else is able to pipe in soon with better info.
added: or maybe the philippines and I am totally wrong
