Good evening dear members,
I'd like your advice about this large knife/small machete , 21,65 inches long ( without scabbard ) He comes with his ''small'' side knife, looks like a xxl bowie knife with a latino american style ( I find...) Maybe antique ? Can you help me to fix it ?! Kind regards |

it certainly has a Mexican type of look.
The eagle head pommel is a very common feature. The giveaway would be (if someone recognises it) the punch stamp which loos like ENBAT? EMBAT? |

Interesting how much that blade resembles a short version of a klewang.

Thank you for your messages
Milandro and Werecow ! I agree with Werecow, there is something VOC colonies in the blade shape, hilt looks more Mexican as Milandro says... I will receive it friday I hope, I could send better pictures of the stamp and of the blade Kind regards |

the clip point and the fuller do look similar and I have been also thinking that I had seen the pommel on some Indonesian made weapon , I think that the key to identify is in the identification of the punch stamped mark.
Please make a beter picture or ask for one IF this is Indonesian made then it is probably Tjikeroe if you look though this thread http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...ight=Tjikeroeh You will find some similarities |

http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...ool#post282150 I think Mexican may be the correct answer. A clearer picture of the stamp could help. Last edited by Interested Party; 24th October 2023 at 03:46 PM. Reason: Punctuation |
