help to identify this short weapon

[A. G. Maisey]

Thank you for that reference Ferrylaki.

As I said previously:- interesting.

Still, the fact remains that I have only ever seen this handle associated with pedang that could be attributed to Jawa.

If the form can indeed be found as widely dispersed as Jawa, Sunda, and Sumatera, then it causes one to wonder why.

Incidentally, in an earlier post you mentioned that you were located in Solo. May I enquire as to what part of Solo?

Thanks Ferrylaki.

That's down in Lawiyan, isn't it?
I thought it was Panti Waluyo? I could be wrong, only ever been past it.

Nearest I ever lived to that was in Kratonan, these days I`m out at Palur when I'm in Solo.

In Perum RC.Just shifted from Renyeb, near Mesjid Al Falaah.

Currently getting a new place organised but not yet sure exactly where it will be. Contract ran out on the other one.It'll still be somewhere in that area though. Maybe in the next RT.Palur Griya Asri, I think.
