Is this Chinese or Indonesian sword?
This just ended on ebay. I thought it was Chinese from the handle but the blade. Not sure. What do the Indonesian collector say?

I don't think it is Chinese, but I would love more description and maybe a picture of the guard.
Thanks, Josh |

Me too but that's all there was. Looks like the handle and the guard are both horn?

Hmmmm. A toughy. At this point I am hesitantly leaning the other direction towards Indonesia based on the blade. Better pictures would be helpful.

The hilt might well be Filipino, but the blade is harder to place. More pictures of the hilt would be helpful.

I also think that it could be from Indonesia or the Philippines, hard to say without better pictures.
