Origine of Pedang?
 

Hello everybody.

I have read the old thread about the origin of the pedang, but I find it very difficult to understand the subtleties.

Here is one of my pedang which I can't determine the provenance.
It's very modest, the handle has been broken and roughly repaired.
The wooden sheath is covered with a thin white metal plate (low grade silver ??).
The seller announced Sumatra as its origin, but the blade (with the 2 small holes) made me think more of the Cundrik of Lombok.

(I have not yet cleaned the blade. :o )

What do you think?

Lovely sword!

Hello Athanase,

this is a pedang from Lombok, the fullers (sogokan) are the giveaway. Normally this blades come in a different dress, see for example here: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...=lombok+pedang
I would clean the blade carefully with WD40 only.
