PEDANG for Comment
Have just picked up this Pedang?? Not of high quality I suspect, but then I am not really familiar with these things.

I call it a golok djanoer ('she who MUST be obeyed' uses one to clear brush/long-grass around our house). This style was popular in the 1950s. Blade: L=41cm., OAL=56cm. T=0.8cm, W=1.6cm. Handle: Carved buffalo-horn Sheath: Bamboo outer strips. Tin bands and sock. Buffalo-horn belt-clasp and throat. Best, |

This golok is from Java right?
The sheath style with the bands, the protruding lip of the sheath, and the blade shape make me think so... |

This looks like one of the pieces sold by the now defunct Valiant Arms.
