Indonesian saber
A seller of swords from Indonesia who is just starting out in the world of eBay contacted me looking for information on this sword. In my opinion it is not particularly old or valuable, but I thought it would be worth asking some questions about. I bought a similar saber with nice fullers and a clipped tip on the North coast of East Java in the early nineties, and this is the first example of something that comes close that I have seen since. Is this style recognizable to anyone? The seller comes from Northern Sumatra (Medan). It looks like the kind of thing a modern pirate might use (for when the AK is out of bullets) , and comes from an area where that is possible.
