Very nice golok. Not sure if it has a pamor blade but it could be a pamor blade. It certainly has age and the origin is Java. I think based on the hilt east Java. I have a recent one brought back by my pencak teacher who travels home for holidays and bring back the supplies for practise

Hello Russel,

nice golok, sadly are the scabbard bands missing. It's from Java like Henk said but I can't say from where exactly but I think that Amuk Murugul will be able to tell you more, maybe he can chime in and can give his opinion on this one.

Regards,
Detlef

Thankyou both for your replies.

Detlef, would the scabbard bands originally have been metal (brass/silver) or rattan?

I think that it has had once brass bands. The patina shadows on the scabbard seems to confirm my guess.

Default Restored

Here are a couple of photos after Robert has performed yet another sterling restoration: closing a crack in the hilt and adding replacement scabbard bands.
