javanese or chinese??
I saw this tipe of sword in Jakarta, Indonesia. I'd like to know where it came from, since it doesnt seem like an Indonesia/javanese sword. there is a sword dealer I'm going to meet regarding to this sword. I intend to buy the sword which is in better condition than thiss pictures shows.
it has double edges. very sharp. wide from the bottom is 4,5 cm and 3 cm to the top. any comment would be apreciated. Thank you best regard, Ferry ( Jakarta, Indonesia) |

It looks Indonesian to me. What about makes you think it is not. Some better and closer pics of the motifs in the metal work on the sheath might tell something.

It is indonesian and probably from Java. It has a pamor blade. This sword is called a pedang lurus.
I cann't discover anything chinese on it. |

From what I can see in the pics, I also am of the opinion that this is Javanese.
Yes , it is a straight sword (pedang lurus), but I would be inclined to name it "pedang suduk" (stabbing sword). |

I'll get some better pictures as soon as I recieve the sword. I'd like to know , should I stain the blade to show the pamor or just clean it and put some oil on it? regards, FERRY |
