Where does this blade come from?
I have bought a blade with only the hilt ( Sumatran Solo hilt) quite a nice one methinks.
Anyway I will provide the blade with a new sarong or adapt an old one if I can find a suitable fitting but I am , in my ignorance, unsure of how you could class this “ wilah” , is it a Javanese wilah? Initially I thought it was a keleng but I am not sure it will be, this is a shot at the cleaning stage Somebody locally called it an “ High Keris” and said it was probably from before 1800 and called the Ganja kelab lintah. Another person fasked a friend in Indonesia and he said that this was a sempono panjul dapur. They all seemed to find it an interesting blade. Again I am a beginner at all this.
