I am looking for some adviise on this pedang.
Zonneveld TWOIA calls this a pedang II, but refers to Sumatra. Like to hear your opinion... Best regards, Willem |
Hullo everybody! :)
..... Tjirebon ..... Hoeloe Makara ..... Best, |
I think figure 120, page 49, Golok, would be better suited as a reference for this sword.

Hello Willem,
agree with the above given statements, the sword look Javanese to my eyes, Cirebon is a good guess. Very nice sword! :) Was the "nose" once broken and is reglued? Regards, Detlef |

Yes, the nose is indeed reglued, unfortunately with a small gap remaining. If I reglue this it shoudl look better. Tips / advise how to do this are appreciated. Best regards, Willem |

the first problem will be to loosen the both parts again without destroying something. Can you recognize which glue is used? Regards, Detlef |
It looks like a pretty hard transparent glue.
I plan to wrap is in a damp cloth for a day or so... |

It was brought to the Netherlands by a soldier who was stationed in Mid Java and who sailed from Semarang. So this sounds good. |

Golok always makes me think of a short weapon. I agree that the blade shape is like the golok but in this case it is much longer. Best regards, Willem |

looks much better as before but I am afraid, I think that this will be the best result which can be done and I think that you have to live with this condition. Still a very nice sword. :) Regards, Detlef |
100% better, it looks great ! The visible crack isn't a flaw, but it gives it character.
Thanks for the tip about the wet cloth removing some glues ;does it have to be warm or room temperature? Wonderful sword. |

The tip about a damp cloth came from this thread : http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...ght=glue+cloth |
