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 saber blade, Probably a trade blade from Europe, 31 inches long with 4 inches ricasso. Steel basket hilt with down pointing langets all very nicely engraved. The pommel side is covered with a heavy silver coin, probably Malay and a smaller ten cents coin of the Straight Settlements 1897. The pommel spike is covered with silver foil. Wood scabbard covered with fabric and mounted with wide silver bands. Total length 39 inches. For similar swords see A.G. Van Zonneveld, Traditional Weapons of the Indonesian Archipelago,, Page 101. Very good condition. The fabric cover is restored.
