Very nice Malay sundang! The scabbard is Melayu. I think the pommel would be classified as danganon if this were a Moro kris. This must be an heirloom sword, which do not come on the market very often.

 And you are correct, Malay sundangs are rare and in such a quality much rarer. Regards, Detlef |

Congratulations Detlef,
What a fantastic Malay sundang! Wonderful ivory hilt and fiber winding around the handle. Also the blade shows great lamination. Is this 'dark' etch of the blade a common thing on Malay sundangs? I remember I owned a Malay sundang with a similar dark/black etch on the blade. At that time I thought it had a 'Javanese' (not genuine) treatment. Kind regards, Maurice |

Sajen,
Does the blade have a sharp edge? Thanks for sharing… |

Since it seems to be the original etch it would be nearby that it was a common thing. Best regards, Detlef |
