Phew! That's a relief.

I guess the description is too generic - Pedang Lurus (straight sword).

I think is a Javanese Tempius or Pedang Tusuk which literally means (stabbing sword). What do you think?

Michael, I wouldn't mind the larger piece as well. Mine is a size 'S' blade.

But it's lovely anyway. I'll clean and re-etch the blade once it arrived.

Thanks Rick, Michael and Kai.
