This one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fo0DDdTd-i0 shows you the golok laying on the ground. At the end of the film you see the emblem with the golok in it.

Excellent, thanks Henk.
The young lad in yellow at the beginning of the second film is amazing! I'd never have had such dedication at such a young age.
I see what you mean about the Goloks.
My pair were allegedly collected prior to the early 50s, do you think thats possible?

Have you seen this girl with twing Goloks?
