Generally turn of the century to 1930's or so Flavio .
Mine is not dated though many are . They seem to be getting scarcer in the market of late . |

There are quite a few contemporary pieces floating around, especially with the more flamboyant hilts. Some with new but artificially aged/corroded pamor blades, too. Of course, very cheap workhorses can also be bought at local markets since the majority are agricultural tools. These do come with a hardened edge and are great users. The usual recommendations apply if you seek genuine vintage or antique goloks... Regards, Kai |

Hi Jerry ,
The golok itself ; 13" blade , 19.25" oa marked Tjikeroeh . This one has been in a tussle as it bears defensive nicks on the spine and flat of the blade and scabbard . I replaced the scabbard lug as it was missing when I bought it years ago on ebay . Agree with Kai there are goloks still being mf'd. in Jawa today . Valiant Co. out of Oz carried them plus many other types of swords from the area ; I think they may have gone out of business though . www.valiantco.com Look under Java Last edited by Rick; 14th September 2005 at 04:58 PM. |
