Perhaps the text-inlay done after the Dutch intervention in 1894. |

I am not necessarily saying it's Sumatran, I just didn't understand why it had to be Lombok, and I must have missed anything about a tag.
Good observations. |

There was a tag saying Lombok on it, but it was a recent one so I detached it. Maurice |

Maurice,
Just for clarity because forums and emails carry no connotation and can be easily misinterpreted...like I did not understand that MM was joking about the tag!...I have no problem with anything that has been said about the sword, but if there are specific characteristics that make this a "for sure" Lombok made piece, of course I want to learn about them. I think I see what VVV is getting at about a more "squared" appearance, but I think we would need more complete pics and perhaps side-by-side examples. |

Here you see the photo which Michael was referring to, and indeed mentioned Lombok in it, though it was a recent tag for sure... I also would like to know more about the differences of the handles, but this is the only one I have, so I have no comparison to post, only what everyone could see in the former threads.. |
