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?

Detlef

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 :

Hello Willem,

looks much better as before but I am afraid, I think that this will be the best result which can be done and I think that you have to live with this condition.
Still a very nice sword.

100% better, it looks great ! The visible crack isn't a flaw, but it gives it character.
Thanks for the tip about the wet cloth removing some glues ;does it have to be warm or room temperature?
Wonderful sword.
