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 |

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. |
