Hi all, new to this forum. I have been researching Nihonto for the last 3 months and just began making some purchases... when i ran across this one. It was interesting so I picked it up knowing nothing about Javanese/Indonesian swords. So here it is awaiting its name...

Thanks,
Marshall

Mindanao Maranao "sundang", around 70's? tourist example with nice ornate traditional native okir designs on the guard, hilt, blade and scabbard.
