I agree with Balinese, though the blade throws me a little.

Well, it doesn't look Javanese to my eye, but i'm not sure i'm seeing this as Balinese either. For one thing i'm not sure i have ever seen a bird represented on a Balinese hilt. Are there any other possible origins for this. Maybe Lombok?

Hello Detlef,
I believe it is from Lombok. I have a Lombok Pedang with similar scabbard discussed earlier here: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...ghlight=pedang |

Hello Tatyana, Thank you very much! I forgot about your nice Lombok pedang, yes, the carvings and paintings look very similar. So it seems that David was correct in his assumption. Regards, Detlef |
