Congratulations Detlef,

What a fantastic Malay sundang!
Wonderful ivory hilt and fiber winding around the handle.
Also the blade shows great lamination.
Is this 'dark' etch of the blade a common thing on Malay sundangs?
I remember I owned a Malay sundang with a similar dark/black etch on the blade. At that time I thought it had a 'Javanese' (not genuine) treatment.

Kind regards,
Maurice
