I take this opportunity to ask what are the details which can identify the origin Lombok or Sumatra. Thanks for your kindness.

Hello GIO,

I don't know if I am more experienced as you (I doubt ) but I will try to show it. I don't have Sumatra pedangs in my collection, only two from Lombok so I have to look for examples from which I think that they could originate from Sumatra.
Examples from Lombok have been 20 years ago relative cheap and many times offered in Indonesia and also by ebay they have been seen many times for very good prices.
Lombok examples: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...=lombok+pedang & http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...ghlight=pedang

And here you can see Sumatra examples (like said to my humble understanding): http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...ghlight=pedang and in fact the examples 1, 9, 14 and 15 and maybe 2. The others in this thread to my understanding from Lombok.

Best regards,
Detlef
