A find from last year, that i forgot to share with everybody.
It is a nice pedang suduk with dual blades, pamored . Scabbard have silver mounts, and lacquered leather cover. Most likely a unique piece, for someone with a certain statut. Maybe a Chinese descendant or a Chinese official in Indonesia ? I would place it in the late 19th, early 20th. Any input, opinions, or discussions are warmly welcome ! |

Looks like a pedang lurus split in half.
Chinese influence might be a possibility. Never seen one like this before. |

Like Jose I never have seen a similar pedang lurus before. But it seems to have some good age.

Hah, that's neat! New to me too, but definitely reminiscent of the double jian or dao.

Hello Julien,
That's a neat find - congrats! The blades do seem to originate from Java (indigenous work); apparently same-o for the fittings. Quote:
BTW, has the scabbard a central piece of wood separating the 2 blades? Regards, Kai |

Hello Kai
How are you ? Blades and fittings are javanese made for me. The middle part of lacquered leather seems to me like the singularity here. Yes, the two blades are separated in the sheath ! They are good in hands Interested Party. I will share a picture later Quote:

This might be sacrilege but as I said on the other thread I think it would work well as an elven sword in a fantasy movie. As an orc sword I might suggest the Ngombe ngulu. ![]() |
