Smile Place name update, clarification

To aid search of the forum and cross reference, I list here the various spellings of the name of the hamlet inscribed on this weapon and some other nearby hamlets:

TIJ PA TJING same as Tjipatjing same as Cipacing (modern name)

Cipacing is located in the Sumedang Regency, about 30-40km east of Bandung.

See also these other hamlets where these Dutch East Indies weapons were created c. early 1900's. There is quite a bit of good info in this forum in particular on the weapons of Tjikeroeh hamlet which likely applies to the others as well:

Tjicatjing
modern name not known

Tjikeroeh is same as Cikeruh (modern name)
