A Sword/Sabre To Identify

Hi All,

Could this sword/sabre be from Sumatra? Does it have a name? Looks like it has pamor.

Cheers.

Thanks Detlef. Some dutch influence in the handle?
Cheers.

The blade is not a Javanese form of which I am aware, & I have never seen similar motifs in Javanese silver work.

I really have no firm opinion on where it might have originated.

If possible, could we have clear picture of the beast?
Does it lion or something else? Looks like Si Tumang (dog in the folklore that is famous for hilt in Sundanese).

This looks like a very elaborated form of Pedang Cagak.

While I admire the scabbard and the hilt and guard, they look way more elaborate than anything I have ever seen and also a little bit too pristine.

The pommel and guard are heavily influenced by Dutch infantry sabres (M1912?)
