Perhaps a Banjarese ordered it somewhere else when he was on a hajj or a trade tour?

Like I mentioned Michael...to me 1/4 of the koftgari doesn't look like it came from anywhere I can think of in the Islamic world. I am most curious about it. I certainly would not count out your theory.

That is a fantastic and interesting sword!
Congratulations with your beauty. I can't give you more information about the blade, as I have never seen something like this before.
I hope others would be able to give a translation.
