S.E.A.? sword for identification
I can't seem to find any pictures of this type of sword anywhere that I've looked, at least in my limited library. I'm sure that it's Indonesian, possibly from the eastern part of the islands. The blade is heavy, 20 inches long, 27 inches overall, and a little less than 1/2 inch thick at the base. No scabbard Borneo also comes to mind as a potential area. Anyone seen one like this before..........Dave.

First Port-of-Call
Hullo everybody!
 As an initial foray, try: Klewang Maluku/Moluccas. It may also be referred to as a parang, locally named Semarang. Just for additional info: Sometimes wrongly called Parang Salawaku. Parang Salawaku refers to a complete set, a Parang (humaranga) and a shield (Salawaku/dadatoko). Best, Last edited by Amuk Murugul; 31st January 2014 at 05:05 AM. |
