Ethnographic Arms & Armour - View Single Post - Cirebon or Sunda sword? Opinion requested!

Have gotten a very nice laminated Cirebon or Sunda sword, I am unsure about this, maybe someone will be able to tell me the exact origin. The scabbard fittings and handle ferrule are from silver, the Makara handle is from wood with inlaid eyes but sadly missing it's crown which was maybe from silver as well. The sword is 81 cm long in it's scabbard, blade length 63 cm and the blade is 10 mm thick near the handle.
All comments are very welcome!
