This is a beautyfill sword with chased silver scabbard. My guess is also Indonesia. What do you think?

Likely Sumatran, some possibility that it is Javanese.

Very nice example!

Looks to me as a sumatran pedang.

The facial features strike me as Javanese.

Hi Gavin,

the head shows makara, widespread in the archipelago but here in the Sunda/Cirebon style IMVHO. http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showthread.php?t=18862&highlight=cirebon & http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showthread.php?t=6834&highlight=golok
