Hello Semar,
I would say it is a golok (btw a very, very nice one) but I don't know from where but when I would guess: javanese.  A closeup from the handle will maybe helpful.Regards, Detlef |

Beautifull golok. Here an example of what I think would be a similar golok which is in the Leiden museum collection: number 913-66 from Java. Yours looks a lot nicer with the silverwork around the scabbard and the very intersting blade! Maurice |

Hallo Semar,
Lucky, lucky lucky you.  Absolutely stunning golok. I saw it too, but decided to stick to Borneo and Atjeh and not get distracted, however tempting it may be. I would say also Java, The style makes me think of the better pre 1900 Tjikeroe weapons. But this one is different and even more refined. Great addition to your collection ! Best regards, Willem |

I also guess this is a Sunda piece - nice! Wouldn't rule out the Bengkulu region though.
How about giving the blade a slight etch to see what's currently hidden?  Regards, Kai |
