Hello everybody,
I wish you an happy new year 2019 !!!

I bought this small sword , I think it's indonesian ( a parang ?)
nice carved ( horn?) hilt, small silver mounts.

The blade is interesting,
I wonder if it is an european blade adapted to make an asian style or a local production ? ( for Dutch colons ???)

The blade cuts on one side ( sabre ) but on both sides at the top of the blade.

Sorry, some global pictures are not really good

Kind regards

Francky
