Just to re-inforce what Alan has said here, i began my comments with "really need some closer shots". Let me emphasis REALLY. It's hard enough to make accurate commentary on blades that are more closely photographed. My comments were based on what i can see prefaced with LOOKS fake to me and PROBABLY contemporary. My opinions could easily change with a better view. I do agree with Alan that the dress is old. If old the blade is very well kept, though i would have a hard time assigning an age older than Mojopahit.
I am also curious what you hope to gain in this posting. Are you hoping to gain more information about this blade or have any questions answered or are you merely showing it for the sake of the viewing?
