Hello Thomas,

This is a genuine Sunda sword (western Java); the fullers seem to have been made with modern tools. Early, "modern" pieces from imported European steel are known from the late 19th century - 21st century seems too young for the workmanship of this piece; thus, 20th century seems a good guess to me.

Is the metal scabbard cover real silver?

Regards,
Kai
