A very nice pair of rentcong ( rentjoeng) with hulu puntung, thanks for sharing them. You can find similar ones in Von Zonnevelds's book on pagge 114 with close ups of the hulu on page 14.

Nothing like a nice rentjong (besides nice mandaus etc. etc :D )

The suasa/copper combination is almost the same as one in my collection.

Thank you Ben, it's true that the sikin scabbard are made of very light wood (at least the only one that I have :o ) and so it's normal that in most of the case tey are long time gone :)

Definately looks like a collar of copper with above it suasa.
Indeed very nice that the sikim is the same.
