Hello Ferry,

thank you, yes also at the peksi you can see that it is an old blade, but some cratches I have to sand with wet paper to get a smooth facing. And Mr. Maisey have been correct when he say that it is most probably a Lombok blade so I have to look for sarung from there. A warangka with this size I don't have. Maybe I will get one by e-bay one day or by my next trip to Indonesia.
