Yes, a Piso Sanalenggam, nice very old example. Sadly seems the blade very pitted. Rare sword.

Regards,
Detlef

Thanks Gentlemen
Obviously there are not many around.

Charles, is the scabbard wide throated or is there a cut away at the back to allow entry ?

Detlef, it is not badly pitted, more discoloured with faint pitting. It should clean up well.

Cheers
Roy

Sounds promising and I am glad it isn't pitted, please show it afterwards.
Again, congrats for a rare find.

Regards,
Detlef
