I've won a rather nice sewar by a German auction house. The fittings are from gold and silver. 35 cm without scabbard.

Very neat addition, Detlef!
An extremely nice sewar from the western coast of Sumatra. Some close-ups would be great once you receive it. There ferrule seems to be suasa, right? Nice ensemble! Regards, Kai |

The auction house speaks only of gold but I suspect the same, the ferrule looks like suassa. Regards, Detlef |

Curious- what kind of wood is this? The grain reminds me of banati.

It is a true beauty, and is the gilded material subsea? Regards, Martin |

It seems kemuning (Murraya paniculata) for me, a curly kemuning. Aging along the time, very well specimen. Kemuning is one of famous wood for hilt/handle from Sumatra to Lombok also for people in southern part of Sulawesi.

I was thinking of kemuning but am not fully convinced - for this timber, it would be very strong and regular chatoyance even in burl...
