Twistcore In An Unexpected Place

Thank you so much for showing a really nice specimen..
I wish i could find one, but most likely many of the good-quality old goloks are no longer around.
Mine most of it is peasant/common tools

Not sure, but most likely the handle is makara, carving style maybe Rajagaluh? Rajagaluh used to be part of Pajajaran then Cirebon. Blade possibly Sumedang (Cikeruh? Cipacing?)
Batu lapak, the one that is very close to the handle (half circle) is heavily sought by tosan aji lovers. The twisted pattern maybe unthuk banyu? A rare pattern in golok. It is my first time seeing it.

I really wish it is mine
