A northern Malay pedang - Pattani?

Kai, a very nice sword.

Only one thing - the metal sleeves and the motif on them is what we often seen on refurbished Minang and Palembang Kerisses coming out of post WWII Sumatra. I see the reason, why these could be Malayan, but... am not 100% sure about it.

So Gustav you are saying that these type of silver scabbard mounts are more recent?

BTW - Love the blades

Gustav · 28th July 2017, 10:02 AM

Jose, I am referring only to the metal mounts on the first Pedang -

- yes.

That's the one Gustav, thank you.

Thanks, Jose! The ones that I handled also exhibited a neat balance.

I'll try to post some more pics after cleaning and etching...

I don't have close-ups of the scabbard bands yet; assuming that they approximate the ferrule, you have a point, indeed. I need to research this some more!

Charles, could you please post close-ups of the scabbard (sword from post #2), please?

Regards,
Kai
