Thank you folks!
I had heard rumor of these rare beasties, but what I have often seen was later tourist examples. I had to do some long evaluations and research to make to make sure this wasn't one of them............ |

Ah............good point.
The overall length in scabbard is 20 1/2 inches or 50.63 cm. A big piece (although found one gunong at a show that was 3 1/2 - 4 feet long - probably for show for a shop). |

That's a nice blade on that gunong. The okir on the scabbard is also of fine detail.
