Isn't it a metal lamella rather then missing piece of wood?
Of course it's possible only if a metal ferrule is there. |

To say the truth, I didnt hold this pedang in my hands yet. I will pick it up at the end of next week. If it is interesting I will make and post more detailed pics.

I agree with Mr. Detlef, it sure looks like a sunda pedang.
But there appears to be no missing piece of wood. It just has a metal frame to exactly protect the wooden ferrule from chipping. These metal frames came about during the 19th to mid 20th century. Seems to be an afterthought after a lot of old wooden handles started to get broken inadvertently during handling. Just my humble opinion |
