Hello Bill,
I agree with the others that the scabbard is recent. The workmanship on antique pieces also varies widely for genuine coteng. Not really sure about the hilt - would love to hear from the Malay specialists on this. The blade is IMHO old and a variant style that may be a Malay offshoot of the (originally Sumatran) Bangkinang style. Regards, Kai |
