Exquisite piece. Uncommon hilt and blade. Beautiful pamor works and sheath pattern. Congratulations!

Thanks Alam Shah .

I'd be much interested in seeing other examples .

David · 5th June 2008, 06:29 PM

I will repeat publicly my private response to you:
SWEET!

Now, how about some close ups.

Rick · 5th June 2008, 08:40 PM

Hi David,
Will do, when the weather improves .

How about other examples ?
Anyone want to share ?

Jussi M. · 5th June 2008, 08:52 PM

Oh my

That is sweet!

Congratulations regards your new acquisition. I hope it brings you a lot of joy. I especially like the wrongko - beautiful.

Best,

Jussi

Rick your hit is the same family of this hit.
On the top of the hilt probably there is something like a naga. In the midle there is an ornament like old classic jawa bracelet for arm

Rick · 6th June 2008, 02:39 PM

Hi Marco,

Yeah, it's a Gerantiman hilt quite similar to yours .
The curlycue on the top of the hilt looks like an unfolding sprout to me .

Maybe someone knows the symbolism of this hilt style .

Anyway, I will take more pictures when/if the weather clears .

Yes, more sophisticated than just "tambang badung" pamor. I think it is the type of "dwi warna" pamor (two kinds of pamor) -- if we look the pamor in the sor-soran (beras wutah or ngulit semangka) and tambangan badung from the mid blade to the tip... Nice pamor works

Rick · 11th June 2008, 02:15 PM

I'm not really sure what pamor this is; it is a twisted type .
The blade has no iron core; it is solid pamor material as far as I can tell .
