Total length is 57 cm but I would kindly like to request your support:
how old might this be and from which country / region ? thnx ☼ |
It is a pedang suduk from Jawa, Indonesia.
Age? I think mid 20th century. |
Welcome to the forum!
I see laminations in the blade - it might be a bit older. Some TLC and an etch may tell more... Regards, Kai |
Agree with Henk. An honest Pedang suduk maru. Age is quite difficult. From late 19th to mid 20th.
|
Jup, a pedang suduk. :) But I guess that it's much older as mid. 20th century, at least the blade. The lamination is a good sign of prior date.
Regards, Detlef |
thank you very much gents !

Indeed as mentioned a Pedang Suduk (Maru). They can be quite old, but the early examples used to have better quality fittings and hilt. I would date it somewhere in the 19th century. Looking at the fittings second half.
a little TLC and you have a nice authentic sword. Good catch. Peter |
