Cikeruh/Tjikeroeh golok, Javanese translation help?

[wildwolberine]

I just received this small golok - the form resembles some of the swords in this thread:

There are similar examples in Van Zonneveld on pg. 49 (head-shaped hilt type associated with Cikeruh).

Overall it’s well made with a nice blade. The engraving is well done. I’m curious about the Javanese? script on the ricasso. Could anyone assist? Perhaps it just reads “Tjikeroeh”?

Unusual! Normally it's engraved in Arabic letters! Could it be Sundanese instead of Javanese!?

tjikandang.(Missing symbol around 'na' to turn it into 'n'. Is that a 'dot' above 'da' to turn it into 'dang'? )
