Amuk Murugul,

I didn't think but took the book "Klewang, Catalogue of the Dutch Army Museum" by J.P. Puype & R.J. De Stürler Boekwijt.

CW= Constructie Werkplaats = Army Workshop
N= newly made
2 = number of the month = februari
42 = the year = 1942
WZ = the initials of the leatherworker.

The stamp with the manufacture date on the leather scabbard can differ with the klewang because the leather scabbards in the Netherlands East Indies were prone to wear very quickly.
