Hello Willem,
I agree with your statement. In his book "Tafsir Keris", Toni Junus calls this style of pendok "Kasepuhan Cirebon" or Old Cirebon.
I attach 2 pics of an old piece from my collection.

PS: One (not particularly reliable) book published by the Jakarta National Museum in 1983 attributes this style of pendok to Banten and not Cirebon.

I just love this style of pendok!

Thank you Jean,

Here you see indeed the expected wear of the pendok.
Nice blade as well !

Thanks Willem, the pendok is a bit damaged on the back but it is not critical. I bought this piece from a Dutch seller whom you probably know... Regards
