I think figure 120, page 49, Golok, would be better suited as a reference for this sword.

Looking at all features I would say a Javanese sword / golok Willem.

Kind regards,

Hello Willem,

agree with the above given statements, the sword look Javanese to my eyes, Cirebon is a good guess. Very nice sword!

Was the "nose" once broken and is reglued?

Regards,
Detlef

Hello Detlef,

Tips / advise how to do this are appreciated.

Hello Willem,

the first problem will be to loosen the both parts again without destroying something. Can you recognize which glue is used?

Detlef

It looks like a pretty hard transparent glue.

I plan to wrap is in a damp cloth for a day or so...

Best,
Thank you.
It was brought to the Netherlands by a soldier who was stationed in Mid Java and who sailed from Semarang.

So this sounds good.

Thanks Gavin,

Golok always makes me think of a short weapon.
I agree that the blade shape is like the golok but in this case it is much longer.

Best regards,
Willem

A damp cloth worked fine, it was a felxible hobby glue.
Difficult material to get a good fit again.
At this moment it looks like this :

Hello Willem,

looks much better as before but I am afraid, I think that this will be the best result which can be done and I think that you have to live with this condition.
Still a very nice sword.

100% better, it looks great ! The visible crack isn't a flaw, but it gives it character.
Thanks for the tip about the wet cloth removing some glues ;does it have to be warm or room temperature?
Wonderful sword.
