Another Unique Malay Sundang

[kai]

Hello Gustav,

Thanks for the pics!

There is one slightly similar in Museum Negara Melaka.

Would certainly be nice to see the full blade. OTOH, the base features are very different from Charles example - I'm not sure we can argue a close origin based on only the fullers.

Your specimen has lost some material abowe the greneng (or what is left of it).

I'd guess that the greneng of Charles' piece are original (only slightly worn).

Regards,
Kai
