Hallo, Detlef.
Thank you for the info. Do you know has this pedang its own name?
Regsrds, Yury.

Isn't it a metal lamella rather then missing piece of wood?
Of course it's possible only if a metal ferrule is there.

To say the truth, I didnt hold this pedang in my hands yet. I will pick it up at the end of next week. If it is interesting I will make and post more detailed pics.

I agree with Mr. Detlef, it sure looks like a sunda pedang.

But there appears to be no missing piece of wood. It just has a metal frame to exactly protect the wooden ferrule from chipping. These metal frames came about during the 19th to mid 20th century. Seems to be an afterthought after a lot of old wooden handles started to get broken inadvertently during handling.

Just my humble opinion

Yes, you are correct!

My eyes are not really good anymore.

Hi Jury,
when I am correct that it is Sundanese Amuk Murugul would be the one who could answer your question. But I would be happy with pedang!

Regards,
Detlef

Hullo Detlef,

Thanks for the intro.

Hullo Yuri,
To me, it appears to be a Pedang Tewek Sampana (SoendaGaloeh).
Hilt seems to be a thinly-disguised clump of fern-croziers, thus it is an Eloek Pakoe variant.(I say 'thinly-disguised' because overall, it is made to look like a Djawa planar hilt, suggesting the style was adopted after 1579).
Have a look at the end of the metal strip. Does it look broken? If not, then it is normal. It was put there as is as a strengthener.

Best,
