Hello all,
I get offered this weird sword which is clearly Indonesian, my guess would be Bali or Lombok, 2 ft 5 ins long, with nice pamor blade. The blade shape remember me to some Lombok cundrik I've seen and handled but the handle and scabbard with either silver or german silver sheet covered is very unusual. I have the permission to post the pictures here. For the blade shape of Lombok cundrik have a look here: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...hlight=cundrik Have someone seen something similar before and will be able to name this sword and know the origin? Thank you in advance, Detlef |

yes, very similar blade shape! This would confirm my guess that it is a cundrik in unusual mounts. Regards, Detlef |

Have a look at my post of the 22nd Oct 2008 - the scabbard is similar. The "sabre" in this photo has a similar blade. Always assumed it to be from Java or Sumatra. Regards Roy |

I think you mean this thread: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showthread.php?t=7368 Again, this would also confirm my guess, Bali, Lombok or also Java for origin and most proable a cundrik. Thank you! ![]() Regards, Detlef |

IT LOOKS LIKE A SWAGGER STICK WITH A BLADE INSIDE. SWAGGER STICKS WERE POPULAR AND OFTEN SEEN CARRIED BY OFFICERS AND SUCH AT LEAST THEY WERE IN THE MOVIES.

I am sure you can! Keep in your reply, open a second window, search for the link and mark it in the browser with the right mouse taste, "copy", go back to to your reply, left mouse taste and after this the right mouse taste, "paste" and all is done! Thank you again, Detlef |
