Hello Hans,

Interesting silver work on the scabbard.
What style origin is it ?

As for the hilt.
Do you mean "hoorn" as in "hertshoorn" (= dutch for stag)

Ps. impressive piece, but maybe a silver uwer would be better matching ?

Best regards,
Willem

Can we ascertain that this is Balinese work?

The hilt and blade look rather recent (or reworked) to me.

Kai
