That's a rather strange wedhung. I have seen these inlay patterns on what people mistakenly call "Balinese Wedhung", but never on a true Javanese wedhung. Your blade is not quite correct for a Javanese wedhung. It shows no wideng for instance and the shape blade profile is close, but not quite right to Javanese forms. But the sheath is clearly from a Javanese wedhung. Were these married at a later date with the blade possibly being from Bali? Do you have any info on its origin?
