a sewar ?

Hi Freddy,

Nice one.
I would call it a sewar, regardless of the type of handle.
but that again I am not very strict with all these names.

Handle looks very much like wood to me.
Wood can be very hard.
Take a normal javanese ukiran and try to make a dent in it with your fingernail.
Your nail might break, but that will be all

Ps. couldn't you stick to the african arms

keris fever all over again

Hello Freddy,

That's a nice sewar blade. If it does fit the scabbard well, it may be Minang Kabau.

I agree that the hilt seems to be a later replacement.

Regards,
Kai
