So that's where it finished up.
I'm having a lot of problems with the Forum lately, that particular post involving grammar took me a multitude of attempts to get posted. I posted it --- correctly I believe --- then an error page popped up, when I checked back my post had disappeared & I got an old page, then I posted it again, checked, it was in the right place, now I'm seeing this thread without it, except for the copy.
I do not know if my difficulties are being experienced by anybody else, but for some time, I find that I need to try many times & often through the back door, to get into the Warung, & sometimes into the Ethno froum as well.
Anyway, what the whole thing boils down to is that names are only good when they are used in the right place.
Yes, on the waved tombak the mendak looks like Madura or North Coast Jawa, the scabbard on the other one looks like Madura or East Jawa, but I cannot name the blade origin.
I cannot comment on the figural hilt.
