Hi Jerry ,
The golok itself ; 13" blade , 19.25" oa marked Tjikeroeh .
This one has been in a tussle as it bears defensive nicks on the spine and flat of the blade and scabbard . I replaced the scabbard lug as it was missing when I bought it years ago on ebay .

Agree with Kai there are goloks still being mf'd. in Jawa today .
Valiant Co. out of Oz carried them plus many other types of swords from the area ; I think they may have gone out of business though .

Look under Java

Hi Spunjer,

Looks like the older one to me.
Great find for whoever that bought it.
