Thank you Danny, it's every time good to see other examples! It seems that you like I am in need to clean blades!
  From which other Sunda sword are the close up from the scabbard fittings in silver? Regards, Detlef |

I'd always thought these to be Sunda sword.
Here is another carved hilt type. The blade on this example carries a keris feature, a kembang kacang. Gavin |

Hello Gavin,
yes, a typical early Sunda hilt. I think that we can say that Cirebon is culturally intimately connected with Sunda. Can we see the blade please? Regards, Detlef |
