Klewang? ID help

Mefidk · 16th May 2009, 02:47 PM

This is the second piece that I'm having trouble placing. Someone suggested it might be a klewang from Borneo, but I've not been able to find a good match in the references I have. Can anyone shed any light on the origins of this?

Blade is 56cm long, hilt is wood, and there is a stamp on one side of the blade. The blade itself is very heavy and feels like a working tool rather than a weapon.

I guess that at least this one is not a 1796 cavalry sword in disguise

Thanks in advance for your help.
