I agree that the vegetative engraving to the blade doesn't look Moro.

The leather sheath looks Occidental.

I like this blade, hard to...

Those are wicked looking.
The panabas with the scabbard, photo on top, is the blade missing the curved spike?

I like the blade profile of the middle one. I think that this profile is not as common as the other two shown. I have one similar not as nice and the sundi is bent.

Very nice. I like it.

Helleri, "SSII", is a possibility.

Peter, thanks for posting the photo. It provides a probability that the etching is original to the blade.

Markings on a Chinese sword?

Was this etched marking done by a westerner or is it original to the blade?
It either "SSD" or "550" :confused:

Thanks in advance for your help.

I would make sure the silver inlays are flush and firm within the channels, you don't want to risk snagging a stray with a steel wool thread and pulling it out.
