Indonesian knife and shield?

Tim,
I think the shield is a dahl from India. I'm not sure about the knife but I don't think it's from Indonesia. Both items are really nice. The knife blade looks like a bowie blade from the US or Mexico but the sheath doesn't look like it's from the US. Are you sure the knife is original to the sheath? The sheath looks like it could be Turkish to me although something in the back of my mind says it could also be Mexican. I really don't know much about Mexican blades however. You could try the electrolysis method to remove the rust. It won't hurt the silver unless there is rust between the silver and the steel.
Sincerely,
RobT
