Identifying My Acquisitions

Thanks for the welcomes and info.

Should I attempt to remove the repousse sleeve and desolder the hanger? I know it's not original, but I am reluctant to apply heat without knowing the alloy.

G'day Michael.

I believe the embossed pendok (sleeve) is brass, or possibly mamas.

I believe the hanger has been attached with ordinary soft solder.

I would heat the hanger with a soldering iron and lift the hanger off as it softened. There will be a residue of solder left, maybe heat with a torch and brush it off, pick off the little bits. Shouldn't be too difficult.

If I can desolder it, removing the residue will be easy. I'll try that this week.

Thanks.

A Donoriko with an image of a cockatoo is not that common, usually a profil image of a horse (Kudah) is seen.

The back hanger is not that much of a problem but the bumped ( and sidewise cracks) are! This is a (poor quality) Banyumas pendok I think and the pointing scratches at the front top part tend to imitate those sleeve pendoks from Pesisiran area?

The handle is bone or antler for sure.

What is the the wadidang of the blade showing? A reforging / welding patch?

The spot is shown herewith. Or is this thick black corrosion?

Can you please clarify terminology as you go? I know little on this particular era.

That spot appears to just be pitting. There are a couple of other spots down the blade.
