Hi Guy's
This sword i did get last week with some other items i placed also on the forum but it is a mind crusher ![]() IMO , it is a Javanese( or maybe Madurese) pedang with great European/ Dutch influence . Nice antler hilt / wooden scabbard that is covered with 3 silver sleeves / Indonesian blade with pamor / just nice and complete . But also impossible to find info about a similar one or maybe i'm looking at the wrong places. Someone a opinion or idea's?? Regards, Danny |

Hi Danny,
since nobody respond to your thread until now I will give it a try. It's a Javanese pedang IMVHO. Have a look here: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...ghlight=pedang Regards, Detlef |

It is a Javanese pedang indeed. The european style pedang was worn by the guards of the kraton.

Hi Sajen en Henk,
Thanks for responding . My opinion was also that is is a Javanese pedang worn by the guards similar like the wear a wedung , i did search for some pictures of wedung and some have the same shaped clip /ornament . For myself i was looking for more reference or pictures from a similar pedang because the most pedang's of this type that we see is what Sajen posted in the link. With replacement scabbards or hilt's and most of the time a worn old blade. This pedang has a blade in good condition , no chips etc..and the scabbard and hilt are different and also in a better condition than what we see usual, so i was and i'm still looking for some more pictures or info to compare. Regards, Danny |

Hello Danny,
Sorry, forgot to answer! Quote:
I can't offer a perfect match; IMHO it fits well with the variants encountered on Jawa though (the last 2 with variant blade types, too): http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showthread.php?t=22023 http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showthread.php?t=17706 http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showthread.php?t=19936 http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showthread.php?t=21612 http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showthread.php?t=21824 Quote:
BTW, what are the chains made from? Regards, Kai |

A couple more. Old ( poor quality ) stock photos of two that I have had for years.
Pre -cleaning photos, but they do show that one has a local made pamur blade and the other a plain monosteel. I have always thought that these were Javanese but obviously with European influence. Cheers Roy |

Hai Kai ,
I did not test or clean the chains yet but i suspect that the are from silver also . Royston , thanks for the photo's . Nice swords ! The have even more European influence as we can see on the hand guard. |
