It could be that this the lines from a pamor tambal.

But this would be only clear when you polish and etch the blade.

Replace the handle, make new scabbard....

Are we preparing this sword for WWIII?

This is an antique, for Heavens sake!

I think we need to show a bit more respect to this old warrior.

Hello Ariel,

the different view Alan has explained already but the minimum what I would do with this sword is try to remove the green paint at the hilt carefully. And a try to fix the movement from the wooden part is worth the effort IMVHO.

I admit my limited knowledge and accept the opinion of much more experienced friends.
I take this opportunity to ask what are the details which can identify the origin Lombok or Sumatra. Thanks for your kindness.

Hello GIO,

I don't know if I am more experienced as you (I doubt

) but I will try to show it. I don't have Sumatra pedangs in my collection, only two from Lombok so I have to look for examples from which I think that they could originate from Sumatra.
Examples from Lombok have been 20 years ago relative cheap and many times offered in Indonesia and also by ebay they have been seen many times for very good prices.
Lombok examples: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...=lombok+pedang & http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...ghlight=pedang

And here you can see Sumatra examples (like said to my humble understanding): http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...ghlight=pedang and in fact the examples 1, 9, 14 and 15 and maybe 2. The others in this thread to my understanding from Lombok.

Best regards,
Detlef
