A Sulawesi sword for discussion

This was my south Celebes sword with VOC blade (made original in Solingen for cutlasses / hangers, and with sword cutters marks/VOC monograms/VOC chamber initials/date).

The scabbard is leather over wood, and silver mountings.

Great example Maurice! Thank you for sharing, also when it's no longer in your collection.
