Hi Ian,
Thanks for explaining MILSCO, I didn't know. Always learning here ![]() If MILSCO is on it, it is an US manufactured sabre, I suppose. I do remember looking in a book about the history of the dutch klewang in the KNIL-army, that the dutch army used several types of the klewang. I didn't buy the book. It was on the Pasar Malam Besar in The Hague, a large oriental market here in the Netherlands, originally started for the Indonesian people here, but nowadays it is more a cultural event. But I do remember the chapter about the Klewang type M1941. It was mentioned as a KNIL-sabre. Probably the dutch army took and used the american cutlass after WW II for the army in Indonesia because of a lack of weapons in those days. |
