SWORD FROM BORNEO?

Hi Michael,
Thank you so much for the detailed response! It is most helpful to have this information for future reference! These weapons are extremely interesting but the complexities of variation have often seemed somewhat daunting in identification, and the more information presented the better understanding we can all share in studying them.
I have often wondered about the significance of the linear dots along the blade back, has there been any consensus on if any particular meaning is applied? Also it seems some are filled with brass, while some remain simply open dots.
Thanks again,
All the best,
Jim
