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? |

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.

Stunning different! But the real skill is to close a crack in horn!
Beautiful looking golok you have now Russel after Robert has had his magic hands on it, congrats! Cheers, Detlef |
