asomotif · 3rd August 2014, 01:27 AM

I am looking for some adviise on this pedang.

Zonneveld TWOIA calls this a pedang II, but refers to Sumatra.
Like to hear your opinion...

Best regards,
Willem

I think figure 120, page 49, Golok, would be better suited as a reference for this sword.

Thanks Gavin,

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,

Thank you.
It was brought to the Netherlands by a soldier who was stationed in Mid Java and who sailed from Semarang.

So this sounds good.

Looking at all features I would say a Javanese sword / golok Willem.

Kind regards,

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?

Tips / advise how to do this are appreciated.

Hello Willem,

the first problem will be to loosen the both parts again without destroying something. Can you recognize which glue is used?

It looks like a pretty hard transparent glue.

I plan to wrap is in a damp cloth for a day or so...

A damp cloth worked fine, it was a felxible hobby glue.
Difficult material to get a good fit again.
At this moment it looks like this :
