Sajen
Have a look at my post of the 22nd Oct 2008 - the scabbard is similar. The "sabre" in this photo has a similar blade. Always assumed it to be from Java or Sumatra. Regards Roy |

I think you mean this thread: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showthread.php?t=7368 Again, this would also confirm my guess, Bali, Lombok or also Java for origin and most proable a cundrik. Thank you!  Regards, Detlef |

IT LOOKS LIKE A SWAGGER STICK WITH A BLADE INSIDE. SWAGGER STICKS WERE POPULAR AND OFTEN SEEN CARRIED BY OFFICERS AND SUCH AT LEAST THEY WERE IN THE MOVIES.
 PERHAPS ITS A INDONESIAN VERSION OF SWAGGER STICK, BATON, WHICH DENOTES RANK AND CAN SERVE AS A WEAPON IF NEEDED.

I am sure you can! Keep in your reply, open a second window, search for the link and mark it in the browser with the right mouse taste, "copy", go back to to your reply, left mouse taste and after this the right mouse taste, "paste" and all is done! Thank you again, Detlef |

Just a guess. On the van Zonneveld book page 61 (fig.185) there is a similar one quoted as KASO.

have thought about this as well but the blade shape and also the handle is quite different. And a kaso is also longer, look what is written there about the use of a kaso. I think that the suggestion from Barry that it could be a swagger-stick is a very good one. Regards, Detlef |
