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
