BUT!...it is the BLADE I am interested in. Whether old or more recent, I am fascinated by the construction of this blade and have seen nothing like it before.

I hope I can learn more about the pamor and its purpose here. Perhaps I can also get some clue about the age of the blade. It may very well be that it was not "born with" the rest.

Thanks for any input.

Hi Charles,

don't worry, I am sure others will jump in! Personally I like the dress, maybe not the finest work but already better quality. Would like to see close ups from the scabbard and hilt.
Very nice pamor but unfortunately I can't name it, maybe Alan will be able. I am sure that the blade is old and not a recent work from Madura and agree with you that the dress seems younger.
Very nice pedang lurus.
