The owner did not make the scabbard. The hilt was made 5 yrs ago ( a lower quality)just simply copying the look of ordinary Sundang hilt. Originally, it was only the blade, the blade left by owner`s long time gone ancestors, being kept sacredly for years and years. Nobody knew about its origin. This sword had been taken to a few Malay keris collectors for verification but every body seemed to confuse themselves. Due to this reason, the owner has granted permission for this sword to be posted to the forum, seeking professional views from international sword enthusiasts. Owner`s ancestors origin: Borneo.
