Greetings

These have been in my collection since the mid eighties. Three were puchased from an English auction house and the curved one with the white bone hilt came from a private collecter.

I think the 3 wooden hilted ones are Sangkit, but as you can see the blades are slightly different although all are a similar size.

Only one has a wooden scabbard although another has the remains of a similar one.

The bone hilted one has a similar hilt form and the round ferrule, but the blade is more like a Langgai Tinggan in shape.

As usual, your comments would be appreciated.

Regards
Royston
