A Familiar Blade in a Suprising Place!

Very interesting piece! the blade is obviously better then what you see on some kaskaras. Reckon that it got there similar to how many European blades got to Sudan and other parts of the area. A hypothesis would be that a Yemeni trader would actually sell it there as Yemeni traders reached that part of the world. Another hypothesis is that the same Europeans who sell these blades to Red Sea areas also sell them to far places like Indonesia etc. As far as I know, Europeans did well in trade there and even colonised alot of South East Asia? Muslims are evidently been trading with European nations, the European trade blade offers the best refutation to 'al Islam' trading (whatever that means)
