The little spine that runs from the end of the fuller to the tip of the blade is a nice touch.
Sweet.

Hello Charles,

great sundang, I am green with envy.

Is it the same from this thread: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...=malay+sundang

Is it the original scabbard and restored?

Detlef

Thanks guys!

Detlef, that one in the thread mentioned is the same, but I did not own it then, and actually I forgot it had already been posted then.

The scabbard had the horn chape rebuilt, and added the metal band. I am sure some would disagree, but I preferred the hilt polished to better appreciate its original appearance and materials used.

Hello Charles,

the restore job of the scabbard is very nicely done. I like the beautiful grain at the cross piece from the scabbard. And I like the polished up metal fittings from the hilt, it's look much better now. I know that others will disagree but think about this like you. Is the white metal silver?

Regards,
Detlef
