Nice Nias Balato.
Hilt has split and been repaired as you can see in the close-ups below.
Hilt is solid and there is no movement.
Blade has a very slight bend to the left (looking down). Presumably from repeated use by a right handed user.
Possible small loss to scabbard tip (side) see pictures.
All 15 woven rattan scabbard bands are present and only one has a small loss but all are secure.
Blade is uncleaned for many years.
Other condition as shown below.
A rare example.

Price is £475.
Offers considered.
Shipping will be at cost. Paypal is OK but adds 4%
