Hi Marius,
could be kemuning wood, difficult to say because it's so dark patinated. BTW, it's a recent fake, so please send it to me, I will dispose it free for you! ![]() ![]() Regards, Detlef |

Thank you for your comments!
I know the Parrot-head sewar quite well as I had one myself... and was quite fond of it... for a while... ![]() So I think I will keep this one too... for a while... and when I will decide to dispose it off, I may ask for your most kind assitance (for the sake of environment of course). ![]() PS: I have no idea about wood but in the photos of Kemuning wood that I saw, I couldn't discern the parallel stripes of lighter texture my hilt displays. ![]() Last edited by mariusgmioc; 1st December 2016 at 02:14 PM. |

After browsing through hundreds of photos on the web, the closest match appears to be MAKASSAR EBONY.... maybe?!
