A Sword/Sabre To Identify
Hi All,
Could this sword/sabre be from Sumatra? Does it have a name? Looks like it has pamor. Cheers. |

The blade is not a Javanese form of which I am aware, & I have never seen similar motifs in Javanese silver work.
I really have no firm opinion on where it might have originated. |

Does it lion or something else? Looks like Si Tumang (dog in the folklore that is famous for hilt in Sundanese). |

This looks like a very elaborated form of Pedang Cagak.
While I admire the scabbard and the hilt and guard, they look way more elaborate than anything I have ever seen and also a little bit too pristine. The pommel and guard are heavily influenced by Dutch infantry sabres (M1912?) |

Based on these examples, could we call these "parade/cermonial swords" for high ranking military officers during the Dutch Colonial period (19th C)?
