This item was listed as a "South Eastern Asian Sword," however it looks more African to me.The blade could be an old retooled machete ; it is not flexible.It measures(the blade),17" x 1 5/8".
Any impute would be helpful .

Hello Dave,

Another vote for an African piece with possible trade blade. Definitely not Southeast Asian origin.

BTW, check your PM, please.

Regards,
Kai
