Congrats on a nice addition to your collection Sajen.
Is the hilt carved from bone or antler? |

Thank you as well! I can't answer your question, I've asked the seller but he was completely clueless, the picture from up on the handle was sent to me on request. He has posted only one picture by the online auction with the sword inside the scabbard, all other pictures I received on request. ![]() ![]() ![]() Regards, Detlef |

Congrats, Detlef, that's a neat piece!
I can't offer any positive ID - the nice blade is quite special. Also the carved hilt is very nice. I can see why you consider it possibly exhibiting Malay influence. I'd suggest to also have a very close look at the greater Sunda region (including southern Sumatra), too. The scabbard seems to be a later replacement and may not offer much help in placing this piece. Please post some more close-ups when you receive it! Regards, Kai |
