Michael,

I think you are spot on. I really believe this is custom made for a westerner that may have gone "mildly native". I too think it is from a Javanese craftsman, but still want to what we get on that script.

not Thai script. It 's unreadable to me.

Charles, I agree with Michael.
The little clip at the belt I've seen more often on Javanese Tjikeroeh swords.

Regards,
Maurice
