Dagger for Identification

Detlef, my first post was #5, what I wrote was this:-

"Yes, it has some characteristics of a badik, & I guess we need to call it a badik, but I've never seen even a photo of a badik that looks like this."

If others think it is a badik, and I cannot give a better name for it, I'm happy to call it badik.

But I'm equally happy to call it a "dagger" or anything else that two or more other people can agree on.

Jep, still would call it badik and I think it's from Sulawesi. Someone will have had his own understandingo of how a badik has to look.

Regards,
Detlef
