And now a golok!
![]() ![]() ![]() I like goloks even if more than weapons often are only all working days instruments... or souvenir for western people. I hate myself to have let to go another one with an eagle handle made of horn... well I hope to find another in the future ![]() ![]() |

Nice golok. Probably a Tjikeroe golok and more recent than 1923. Still a well executed example.
A golok is a working tool, but in Pencak Silat a true weapon. |

Hello Henk, can you explain why do you think that the golok could be more recent than the date? From what I can see the general aspect seems quite old, but my eyes are not so well educated...

i've seen a few with similar motif, yours seems better executed than mine, which has a number of repairs to the scabbard and a more rudimentary lion grip. not sure how old this one is, metal bands are steel.

To aid search of the forum and cross reference, I list here the various spellings of the name of the hamlet inscribed on this weapon and some other nearby hamlets:
TIJ PA TJING same as Tjipatjing same as Cipacing (modern name) Cipacing is located in the Sumedang Regency, about 30-40km east of Bandung. See also these other hamlets where these Dutch East Indies weapons were created c. early 1900's. There is quite a bit of good info in this forum in particular on the weapons of Tjikeroeh hamlet which likely applies to the others as well: Tjicatjing modern name not known Tjikeroeh is same as Cikeruh (modern name) |
