Hello Slimsticker,

It seems to be indeed a pedang blade, now, when you have shown the complete blade it looks like a pedang blade. We don't discuss values here, read the forum rules. But of course such a blade is valuable. Why do you want to put a handle to the blade which doesn't belong there?? I would rather look for a pedang handle to complete it again. The blade I would guess is from the end of the 19th to early 20th century and coming most probably from Lombok IMHO. Scabbard could be a later replacement.

Regards,
Detlef
