A very nice pair of rentcong ( rentjoeng) with hulu puntung, thanks for sharing them. You can find similar ones in Von Zonnevelds's book on pagge 114 with close ups of the hulu on page 14.

)The suasa/copper combination is almost the same as one in my collection. |

Thank you Ben, it's true that the sikin scabbard are made of very light wood (at least the only one that I have
) and so it's normal that in most of the case tey are long time gone
