Alan, just sow your expanded post.

Alan, I have yet to see a silver Togogan as Keris hilt, and a Balinese full silver Pendok with a firm provenance before 1930ties. Silver simply wasn't the preffered material/colour for Balinese, and...

Hilt most likely is a mixture of Damar, wax and ground terracotta, which was used to fill the typical embossed hilt made of metal sheet. This metal sheet is gone, filling is left.
