Very nice Detlef. Typical Tjikeroeh style decoration on the blade (interesting to see the name further down on the blade when it's usually on the ricasso--perhaps an earlier style?). I like the short back edge on this one. Very good example all round.


Ian.

Thank you Ian! :) The decoration on the blade wasn't visible on the auction pictures. And yes, I also never have seen before the Tjikeroeh writing at this place.

Detlef

A rather new addition to the collection, nicely carved horn handle, black wooden scabbard, with horn mouth and foot, horn bands, belt loop missing, roughly forged blade. Rather short with 52,5 cm inside scabbard, 46,8 cm without, blade 34,5 cm and 6 mm thick behind the handle. Mid. 20th century?

Congrats, Detlef, another very good addition!

Nah, 19th century for sure. Looks like the blade got badly grinded by someone not qualified to use any power tools (belt sander?).

Kai

Hello Kai,
Thank you for comment! :)
The black spots lying deeper as the polished surface and shows the bare metal, there are also scratches but I think they are from the original processing. There have been surface rust which I have removed. So I think that it is from the WWII area, maybe a little bit more early.

Regards,
Detlef
