Indonesian small sword for I.D.

[Rafngard]

Could this be one of these one, with Western Military style fittings and pamor blades were part of the palace guard's ceremonial uniforms at many kraton during the late colonial period (1850-1940 or so).

Hi,

here's one I sold many years ago, which was a very nice (and dated) sword.
The total length was 775mm.

Horn handle with silver endcap, ferrule, handguard and chains. The shape in Javanese style but with a Dutch flavour considering the ribbed grip.

Wooden scabbard, covered in leather with old patina (as seen on the Dutch Marechaussee klewangs), and with a silver scabbardmouth. The sheath also made again in Javanese style with a Dutch touch.

Indigeneous heavy laminated blade / engraved with a "Dutch" date: MEI 1870 (Dutch for MAY 1870).
The blade had an upward curvature and fuller along the back, and had a length of 610mm, and 10mm thick at the spine near the base.
