Yes I agree - the blade is laminated.

Welcome to the forum!

This seems to be an old pedang blade; possibly pamor adeg - sharper pics would help to confirm.

The scabbard and the hilt are a more recent addition - pretty much the same concept as with Japanese storage scabbards. Thus, not that much of a loss.

The value certainly is in the blade and pics will help to address quality as well as suitable strategies for improved staining.

Regards,
Kai

Hello Rockelk,

Welcome to the forum. I agree with Kai but I don't think that you need to polish the blade and give it a new etch, I just would remove the few rust spots.

Regards,
Detlef
