Default Cikeruh/Tjikeroeh golok, Javanese translation help?

I just received this small golok - the form resembles some of the swords in this thread:

There are similar examples in Van Zonneveld on pg. 49 (head-shaped hilt type associated with Cikeruh).

Overall it’s well made with a nice blade. The engraving is well done. I’m curious about the Javanese? script on the ricasso. Could anyone assist? Perhaps it just reads “Tjikeroeh”?
