Hi Martin,

Nice lot! I can't help you with dapur names of your tombaks, others as Alan maybe yes! I personally would give the fittings a little bit of care and would polish up only a little bit the brass, could be mamas also, you will see it better when polished up. The wood looks very dry, special at the sewar handle.
The curved tomak shows 5 luk IMHO.

Regards,
Detlef

Hi Detlef,

Yes the sewar handle is dry and allmost dull in looks but will give it a treatment
You count the Luk from the point I guess then I see 5 Luk too.
Also got an nice antique selut silver plated with inten that needs some replating.
It's good to see the forum is online again. I am curious what was the reason.

Regards, Martin

Sorry, I can contribute nothing worthwhile.

I cannot count the luk in the waved tombak, the straight tombak is not really a classifiable dhapur, but even so, I think most people would take a shot & give it as "godong pring" --- even though it is not strictly that.

The dress on both tombak is well & truly outside of any Central Javanese style that I have seen, I'm guessing probably both sets of dress are North Coast/East Jawa.

Thank you Mr. Maisey much appreciated.
