Hi Ed,
Could you post a close-up of the grip and blade plus measurements of the sword including blade length, thickness and width? Could you also include a few close-ups of the scabbard, in particular the tip and throat? Robert Last edited by Robert Coleman; 18th December 2008 at 07:00 AM. |

Hullo Ed,
Welcome, Please post a close-up of the hilt and the other side of the scabbard. At the moment, from where I'm looking, it seems able to pass as a GolokSoenda_Djoeragan (high-end Soenda machete) with missing Tjetjepet (top-of-throat); perah hoeloe maoeng (tiger-head handle). Ca. 19thC.- early 20thC. (Soenda: traditionally covered what is now West Java and western part of Central Java) Best, Last edited by Amuk Murugul; 18th December 2008 at 08:25 AM. |
