Hullo Cakszz !
The blade has swastika motif bounded by leaf-scroll motif at the ends (common in SE-Asia). Also see: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showpo...85&postcount=1, item #3 Best, |

Wonderful blade! I didn't know that this motif was common in Indonesia, I usually see this on Balinese blades.
The metal inlay looks like silver! Please show pics of the whole piece. |

What’s the best way of removing the red rust from this blade without compromising the silver inlays?

The pattern in this motif is common in South East Asia, with links to both Hindu and Buddhist culture.It is an endless swastika pattern, a solar symbol intended to provide good luck and protection.
