Restore Tips ?

I think you will find that you are not wasting your time with this one, Danny. It has an old Pamekesan hilt fitted, I believe you will find the blade to be C1870-1930. The Jogja pendok looks OK, and old Madura pendok are very difficult to locate, and not as standardised as Jawa pendok.

Nice restoration project.

Indeed I think it will be difficult to find a fitting madura pendok.
Are there still people in Indonesia who make madura pendoks ?

Ps. for me the big give away for madura pendoks is the sabre like bottom of the scabbard.
But are there other specific madura characeristics ?

Best regards,
Willem

That's a pretty good result Danny. Nice work.

From the pics I cannot say with any certainty what this blade might be. Sorry.
