Hi Detlef:
There is a related family of golok and sword versions that have European style hilts and also bear the name of Tjikeroeh or Cipitang. These appear to have been made for the Dutch Colonial/European markets and have been discussed here previously. Typically, these relatives come in plain black wooden scabbards with brass chape and locket. Some of them have clipped blades resembling the "Dutch klewang" used by colonial troops. Dated examples indicate manufacture at the end of the 19th and early 20th C, up to the 1930s. Ian |

SOME MORE
Hi Detlef,
Here are some of them all of similar size. I am not certain that they are all from Sunda, but they are similar. |

I think that not all are of Sunda manufacture, the down one at the second picture for example, I personally can't place it exactly. On the third and fourth picture I also doubt that these examples of Sunda origin, one has an handle I've seen by rawits. The other one maybe Banjarmasin origin? The one on the right at the fifth picture I guess is of Malay origin. The one on the last picture look a little bit Visayan!? But a big bulk is indeed from Sunda IMVHO. Regards, Detlef |
