Thanks for showing this one Charles. The style of blade is unusual, as you note, and this highly chiseled style is usually seen on more normally forged kris. Nice to see the scabbard with this one.
I have an example of similar style with a traditional waved blade. Interesting to see how short the tang is on these swords. My blade seems to have a significant chrome content as it behaves like stainless steel. I've had it lying around for 15+ years and no sign of corrosion.
