Royalty or Sultan’s Sword, Southeast Asia

Click the photo above for a larger version and more pictures

Detail: I was told that this is a Moro royalty sword from the indigenous people of Southern Philippines. It seems to have European influence. If it is not Moro, I would say that it is a Pedang of Sumatra or Pedang Lurus from Java. Regardless, I am assuming it is unique and possibly rare. It has a single sharp edge and the blade is not curved. Bone handle with silver alloy adornments and wood sheath. Pristine condition and most likely mid-1900s or older. Stand not included. For the Serious Collector. Sorry, this item has been sold. CONTACT US for other weapons similiar to this.
