Maybe you are right .... I will check , I am getting overwhelmed by the sheer volume of stuff and my lack of logical organisation !

No ... unless things are really going awry , as far as I can see I have not listed a question about this sword before . If anyone can ID it for me I would be delighted. Thanks.

Look at this one. I would say it is the same sword. Do you have two of these?

Graag gedaan! Your Dutch is outstanding. By the way for the non dutch speaking members, graag gedaan means you're welcome.

Sometimes you simply cann't find your things anymore. We use to say here "ïf it was a doggie it would have bitten you."

My comment on this sword is still unchanged

My Dutch is lousy but I think we should call a spade a spade for the forum to keep its value as a resource site.
Henk, I can see why you think it might be a Penai Toraja based on parts of the hilt but I find it a bit to far fetched. If you look closer to the hilt I think it's supposed to imitate a Nias sword, which also would explain the top carvings. The blade is of course also a fantasy product.

Dank u wel Henk ! Mij Nederlands is niet zo goed .... I remember my wife's mother from Sliedrecht had many strange sayings , the one that stands out if I remember right was 'voor iedere scheve pot is er een scheef deksel' .... she was referring to my wifes sister and her husband !
Thanks for the ID .
