Unknown short sword. Where's it from? Philippines? Naga?

Looks very similar Emanuel. I'd say the same group.

I have recently aquired this one, it was listed as Maasai seme!

Very nice. Good find. I've been looking for one of these for a while, but have been caught up with packing house the last few weeks. Otherwise ...

Congratulations on a good piece Detlef.

Ian.

Thank you Ian! I've found it by accident and some sleepless hours.

Regards,
Detlef

Great research from Maurice and Ian. Thanks for bring this information to light.
So my understanding is that the Tenggerese are a Javanese sub-ethnic group that traces its history back to the Mojopahit. They apparently are one of the few groups that still adhere to Hindu/Buddhist ways in Jawa.
