For comparison,
I found this ''similar'' one , the central piece , in another old post about klewangs/kalewangs and the regulation models |

thanks to the better pictures and the detective work on Tjbatoe look very conclusive to me.

Hello,
I finally received it, Here some pictures, an heavy model, 800 gramms / 1,75 pounds just for the small sword/machete . For the dates , I read that these ''VOC dutch models'' were made until 1920 but sure, it looks more something WW2 ( reminds me Aldo Raine's bowie knife in the movie Unglourious bastards... ) The steel is good |

I wonder if the handle is more bone, ivory or any celluloid...
One side cracked when I cleaned it with just a little water/soap |

the VOC no longer existed by this time and this is certainly not inspired to the time it existed, this type of knives made there always had bone hilts
