Indonesian( ?) short sword

[francantolin]

Really nice items !!
How long is the bigger ?
( mine 60cm-23,6 inches long )

I find my ''second one'' looks like the last on your picture.

I have to clean ( not to much ) the silver parts
make it a little more shiny like yours

The one in up is 64 cm without scabbard.

Only the file work near the handle but the general blade shape is different and I doubt that this example from my collection can get called kalasan.

Batak silver seems to be very pure since it's get black again very fast.

Hello Wayne,

It's Batak style, the Aceh style is similar but different in fine nuance.

Thank you for the informative picture with the differents models,

So what do you think of my first model ?

original piece looking like the number four with Tanke djembe hilt

or a composite weapon with his all silver covered hilt and his matching scabbard with really different decorations/patterns ?

Kind regards

Looking at the patination I would guess that it's original, maybe the hilt get renewed long time ago. I personally like it and would be glad to add it to my own collection!
