This is a nice original Dutch 'Klewang' (Sword) M.1941. After the outbreak of WWII the Dutch Government contracted Milsco, a U.S.-based company, to produce the Klewang for issue to the troops in the Dutch East Indies. This is a KNIL type Klewang, complete with light brown coloured scabbard. This is the scabbard with brass blade retaining-clamp around its throat-piece and the later was also provided with a narrow strap to affix the scabberd to the frog. The chape of the scabbard is the lengthened brass version.  The blade is nicely maker marked by the US 'Milsco' company. Nice original 'Klewang' in good used condition!
