So the blade is in need of a washing, is the blade Madura too? Or is this a mariage ?

Hope to hear from the experts.
Hi Martin,

Now I know who bid me out! The blade is Palembang too IMO. When you look close you will see that on top of the gonjo and the gandik area had once kinatah. The hilt is North-East coast of Java, not typically Madura.
