Thanks Kia
The blades measured down the center fom the hilt to the tip are 20.25 and 21.38
I intend to clean and re etch using just viniger

I took another look at this - it might be Sulu, I'm just used to Sulu being a little more eliptical in the mouth, but it is possible....

Ah, glad to see the etched blade

IMHO I still think the pommel made of sea ivory. Probably difficult to define which sea ivory, but most poppular material is gigi ikan duyung (dugong). It has more glassy appearence compared to elephant ivory, and the natural hairline crack is different.
