Hello all,
I have had this sword in my collection for many years having originally bought it on a whim from ebay from south east Asia. I am posting it here as I would love to know what exactly it is as I haven't seen many like it. Also the sword has this amazing perfume scented oil that I can't quite pin down as to what it is. I would love to find out so I could re-apply to the blade. Thanks all! ![]() Last edited by William.m; 11th October 2013 at 09:28 AM. |

Hello William,
can you post some more pictures from the sword where we can see the handle and an overall view of the sword? Regards, Detlef |

do you have photos of the blade/grip & scabbard? might help pin it down.
oil is scented with flowers, can be coconut oil, mineral oil. see this link for a recipe: LINKY edited: i see me and sajen posted over each other. luckily we agree ![]() |

OK so through searching though 8 year old emails I have managed to find the seller I originally bought the sword from, and by going though his listings he has a sword currently up for sale that is very similar to the one in question.

hopefully sajen has some new info where it comes from. to me it looks like an older parang blade redressed in a new set of generic clothes (grip & scabbard), still nice tho.
it's like a japanese sword in shirasaya. |

Could be, but I would find it a bit unsettling to see almost the exact same blade offered in the same dress .
