Hi DIYAR. Well i don't know what i missed, but i'm probably the better off for it.

Honestly, there was no hostile intent or call for conflict in my post, it was just 6am in the morning and i was trying to get off some questions quickly before i headed out to work, hoping i'd find some answers when i returned. Sorry if it caused a stir.

BTW, i DO believe that i at least "have the basics", but would still appreciate it if you did address all my questions when you find the time. I think they are all valid.

I, too, would love to hear your stories.

Thank you for all views posted. After reading all views, I have taken a decision that this is a Bugis Sundang, and will advise the owner to make a Bugis scabbard and hilt for it. Thanks again.

Hi, Could you please ask the owner for permission to post pics of the finished piece? I'd love to see it and I guess this nice piece won't be accessible to the interested public again anytime soon... Thanks a lot!

BTW, which part(s) of Borneo do the owner's ancestors come from and what are their ethnic roots? (That's a vast and diverse area and any details might be of academic interest as far as this sword is concerned!)

Regards,
Kai
