Lately a 19th century example was sold here in Germany, sadly I wasn't able to acquire it but here are some pics from the seller. Handle was loose and the scabbard mouth piece was missing.

Beautiful sword Detlef. Would this be considered a golok though?

Hello David,

Yes, a Sundanese golok. The mouthpiece from the scabbard is missing. Someone wanted it more than I did!

Regards,
Detlef

Hello,
Thank you all very much for your comments and for the examples of sheaths that could match the missing one.
