On the blade of my bendo is at the right side a makers(?) mark, which is unknown to me. Under a sign that reminds me a little bit of the Playboy mark are the letters "GMD", "GWD" or "CMD/CWD". Does anybody know this mark?
Thanks

No, I don't know this mark, it will be the one from a local blacksmith in Sunda. Your example look very recent to my eyes (Would like to see better pictures

), I've seen similar marks only by more recent pieces. Cf. with my very recent example.

Regards,
Detlef

Thank you! Like I guess, very recent IMVHO, can you give the measurements? I guess very similar to my example from this time frame which is a little bit over 30 cm long.
