I am back home now for a day so here is the page that Alan referred to from Djelengga for everybody to read.
Based on my kindergarten level of Bahasa, he is writing that this is a traditional sword of Lombok and it is only used as weapon. That is the reason that some of them do not have pamor, but in the past they did. They are made locally by Lombok pande.
(Please correct my simple translation if I have misunderstood something)
