Hi,
Many thanks gents for your interest and information. Here are some stats, O.A. length 47cm blade length 34 cm, I don't know if the size is sufficient to call it a sword maybe more a long knife. Re the symbols on the blade, there's a nice taper from hilt to tip and the depth of the characters gradually get shallower as one travels toward the tip possibly pointing to some shaping of the blade after the characters were incised into the blade but I will have to bow to your far greater expertise with these type of blades. Thanks once again.
Regards,
Norman.

P.S. Is there anything particular I should be doing to preserve this type of blade other than or instead of my normal oiling.

Hi Norman,

very nice pedang suduk! When I am you I would do nothing more to the blade as oiling, the pamor is good visible so it doesn't need a new stain.
Here some pictures of my example. The fittings are from silver and the scabbard have an old local repair.

Regards,

Detlef
