Kai, i emailed the antique dealer who i bought this blade from to see if i could get some idea of when this sewar may have been collected. He tells me that the family who had it collected it in Indonesia themselves and had not been there since before WWII. Says that the silver fittings were heavily tarnished when he received it and that he cleaned it up himself before i ever saw it.
