Please see pic. Friends, do you think I am reading this correctly? It's shouting "antique", but maybe that's just what I want to hear! The white leafy scroll seems to be some kind of lacquer.
Please tell me what you think. Regards. Johan |

Hello Johan,
Nice rencong and for sure antique, don't worry! With a blade length from 22 cm in average size. Handle form is hulu (handle) puntung. The painting on the handle seems to be old so I would keep it. Nice piece, sadly without scabbard. Attached a picture of my examples for comparison. Regards, Detlef |
