Hi Severin,

I agree with David, the handle is from a pedang which could be also from Lombok instead of from Sumatra. The dagger is a constrcut IMVHO, a native has build up his own dagger from pieces, good possible that the blade is from a tombak but could be a cut down pedang blade as well.

Regards,
Detlef
