Truly an excellent sword Michael. Thanks for sharing the pictures.

In the picture of the end of the blade, towads the tip, there are some fading incised designs that remind me of some of the more recent barung coming from N. Borneo -- notably the two parallel lines and the zigzag pattern of lines below. Any thoughts?
