Indonesian or Philippino ?
I'm selling this sword. I got it as Indonesian, but it could as well be Philippino by judging the shape of the blade.
This piece measures 47 cm. It has a wooden handle and sheath, all original to this sword. The handle has a crack, but is still solid. It has a very nice patina. The sheath also shows some signs of use. Nice thing about this piece is the blade. It's very strong (7 mm near the handle) and is, in my opinion, made out of a file. The edge is still very sharp. This is without doubt a village made piece and well used. Asking price : 50 Euro + shipping cost. First one responding, gets it |
