Hallo Semar,

Lucky, lucky lucky you.
Absolutely stunning golok. I saw it too, but decided to stick to Borneo and Atjeh and not get distracted, however tempting it may be.

I would say also Java,
The style makes me think of the better pre 1900 Tjikeroe weapons.
But this one is different and even more refined.

Great addition to your collection !

Best regards,
Willem

I also guess this is a Sunda piece - nice! Wouldn't rule out the Bengkulu region though.

How about giving the blade a slight etch to see what's currently hidden?

Regards,
Kai

Why etch it looks just fine to me.
