19th Century Indonesian Northern Sumatran
Sikin Panjang (sold) |
With well defined layered steel keris type blade, this North Sumatra
Sikin Panjang short sword is very old but in good condition.
The layered steel 18 inch blade makes this a fearsome weapon. The
blade is in very good condition for its age, and is exceptionally
well made given the limited facilities in Sumatra at that time.
Blade firm in hilt / grip. All wooden areas seem good, albeit a
little aged of course. A very good example. Full sized photos available
upon request. Item reference number is A71 (267)
