This form of sword from Sumatra, Indonesia is known as Pedang I. It has a clear influence from the Indian subcontinent and usually employs a foreign blade, as most probably the case here: A secondary use of a probably military saber blade, 31 inches long with 10 inches false back edge. Steel basket hilt with down pointing langets and a pommel spike. All very nicely engraved. Original embroidred hand cushion in the hilt basket. Total length 38 inches. For similar swords see A.G. Van Zonneveld, Traditional Weapons of the Indonesian Archipelago,, Page 101. Very good condition. Minor blackened spots on the blade. No scabbard.
