Indonesian( ?) short sword
Hello everybody,
I would like your opinion and knowledge about this item,
It's not my area but it seems quite old ( 19th ?) and an authentic tribal piece,
maybe indonesian ?
it was sold as a sword but I find its quite small, 53cm / less than 21 inches long
more a machete ?!?
The hilt is made of wood maybe of horn with silver inserts
( and silver on the scabbard ? )
There is I think a missing piece at the end of the hilt.
Glad if you help to fix it
Kind regards
