Sword has arrived, the dimensions do suit a piso podang...
Blade is approx 25" (63cms) long, 3cms (1.25") wide at hilt and 4mm thick.
The blade is very old, some minor forging flaws, 2 narrow, shallow fullers running under the spine with a wider,deeper fuller approx. midway along the blade.All fullers are forged not ground out. False edged for 4" (10cms) . Overall length just over 30" (76cms)
A fast lively sword POB 9cms from hilt. Tiny amount of very faint etching survives on one side of the blade near hilt, possibly foliage
Likely the blade is very old European...but not certain. The Langets have a rivet (a steel rivet through a brass one) which secure them to the blade. A feature I have not seen before. Unlike many tulwar hilts this is comfortable to hold.
This sword has a few, old battle scars
.
Now I am totally confused
All comments gratefully received, thank you
