Ha too slow, so...
I'm going to tease you with them one at a time

Here is an interesting thing.
It's from an old collection and was labeled 'Double Kembar/ Golok' from the original collectors notes.

Some of the mounts are aluminium, so it's 20thC.

Blades apear to have lamination flaws and are very well shaped, good and solid with a definate 'oriental' feel to them, not thin and crappy tourist blades made from 'whatever' reclaimed metal.
I know how double weapons interest you chaps and I've not seen one of these before.
Any information appreciated.
Anyone?
