Can you help …..?

Hullo everybody!

My apologies.
I was rather impatient and so left the thread to retire to the skull-cave and consult the chronicles; emerging to launch into an investigative foray into the matter.
Result:
- better-informed
- becoming the delighted owner of sought-after fretwork (see attached); less-than-ideal but adequate for current purpose. (I may post about it at a later date.)
Thank you for all your input.

Ian & David:

The reason that I initially posted in both rooms was that my initial research indicated the presence of the same fretwork as on David’s Bali blade, on blades from diverse areas of The Archipelago (e.g. sundering/kalis, patani, palembang etc. ). Thus, I had hoped to reach a wider audience. Sorry for the inconvenience.

As for the initial picture of the fretwork in post #1, I found it in a past thread; it is better than the picture of the hand-drawn sketch I have. I focused just on the fretwork so as not to detract from my subject of interest.

I now consider this thread closed.

Best,
