Yes, this is Sulu and does look like turn of the 18th/19th to early 19th century. Congrats, Charles!

How long is the blade? Any hints that the asang-asang may be a replacement?

Regards,
Kai

Yes love the twistcore. I agree with Kai on all points, including the question of the asang-asang possibly being later.

while we're on the issue of newer additions to the older blade; What about the Scabbard? It does seem appropriate to the blade and region to me, but it does 'feel' younger than the blade upon excamining the pics.
