Leif, thank you so much for those pictures. There is a lot of similarity with the example I posted at the top of this thread. Again, there seems to be a strong Bugis influence, and the "bulge" below the mouth is present as well as the gap between the blade and gangya in that area. Obviously another very old example. Am I seeing some flattening of the left side of the tang in the third picture? Do you a measurement for the length of the tang?
Thanks to Federico for allowing his sword to be presented here. |

I don't have tang measures, but could probably get them in the future. Thanks, Leif |
