Timor sword?
Hello dear members,

The blade is from a dutch klewang.
Their might be markings at the ricasso : hembrug or milsco. But could also be unmarked Check out the various threads on the "dutch klewang" Further, the handle, yes typical timor. The use of a foreign blade , typical timor. |

Hello Detlef,
In this case I don't think the marking will mean anything to the value, as it is an ethnographic weapon now. It would be funny if it was marked "VINCE" because militairy Klewangs of that making are rare, but MILSCO and HEMBRUG are quite common. There are also Klewangs around without any markings and although they are not very common, militairy collectors do not value them much. Anyway, it is a timor sword now

Just reread this old thread. The marking HEMBRUG was found by cleaning the blade.
