Thanks Gav,
Never steering away from Borneo, but my interests in some "outside" Borneo areas are growing by the minute.
The balato is indeed in a very good condition. No damages or missing chips whatsoever, only 4 ratan bands around the scabbard are missing.
It has a nice old patina allover, and especially the handle shows glossy patina of handling.
Here some images of the balato out of the scabbard and a better image of the ratan ball.
