I really think that you are very correct by all observations. The sword I've posted seems indeed from very recent manufacture and I think that the coins are similar to the one you have shown, I know this coins from own handling many times before. The blade is 0,25 Inch (0,6 cm) thick near the handle! ![]() And thank you again for proving a "name" for this type of swords. Do you know also which use was given to this swords? Regards, Detlef |

Thanks for your response.(I was just about to go offline ![]() The isaw was the precursor to the njaboer. It was their implement before they were driven out by the Kajaan/Kenjah. They only got the njaboer after their interaction with the Bandjar while they were in "exile", prior to their returning to assert themselves.

![]() ![]() ![]() Sorry, but the overall brown patina on this example is not my idea of "real antique" Same goes for the hacksaw markings. I am going to leave this discussion now. ![]() Best regards, Willem |

Hello Willem,
I assume that Detlef refers to AM’s linked thread rather than the pics hosted on the other linked site. AM’s pic does not show much detail but seems to be a younger example by his own definition? Any really old example available - pics, anyone? Regards, Kai Last edited by kai; 16th May 2019 at 07:25 AM. |

In the collection of the Dallas Museum of Art is a similar sword.
See one of the photos on https://www.artoftheancestors.com/borneo. Unfortunately, I don't have any additional information on this sword, not even an inventory number. ![]() |
