Dear Bluerf,
Interesting.
Personally I have not much knowledge on the various blade forms.
Unless they are very clear and according to the book dapurs like for instance Balinese keris.
This hilt form is here in the Netherlands always assumed to be Buginese.
The scabbard is recently made, so it might be not the traditional wood sort.
I have stained th eblade yesterday with some lemonjuice.
Will post some pictures later.
best regards,
Willem
