			This item was listed as a "South Eastern Asian Sword," however it looks more African to me.The blade could be an old retooled machete ; it is not flexible.It measures(the blade),17" x 1 5/8". 
		
		
		
			Any impute would be helpful .  |

			Hello Dave, 
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	Another vote for an African piece with possible trade blade. Definitely not Southeast Asian origin. BTW, check your PM, please. ![]() Regards, Kai  |
