Beautiful sword!

It was made in Tjikeroeh, Java.
The number on the blade is most likely a date of manufacture, meaning this sword was made in 1892.
Some informations can be found here:

I think, Your sword was already discussed here, at least a twin of Yours:

Thank you for the links. The sword posted is the one I have. Did not know it had been posted before.

I also appreciate the other links. I had seen this style before but could not place it. Good to know it is from Tijeroeh.
