I agree: A Tjikeroeh golok!
I have a very similar, only a bit larger (54 cm overall and blade is 34 cm), which doesn't fit in my collectionfield. But I use it in my formtraining and like it very much because of the small and firm blade with little steel crosspiece as a handguard! (And I like the engravings on the sides of the blade). Similar engravings on the spine as yours by the way... |

Agree, golok from Tjikeroeh. Nice one, a shame that the scabbard is in such bad condition.
