I am not expert in this field, however, using Sellato as my reference I believe the hilt can be attributed to Kenyah origin.

I have not encountered the use of the...

Martin, I most sincerely doubt that we are looking at a scratch, I have seen this sort of erosion on many old keris.

So maybe this keris is Aiq Ngelek if in Lombok, or Ilining Warih if in Bali, or something else if in somewhere else?

This pamor is made by forging a mlumah bakalan into a miring bakalan & then forging to shape without using protective plates.

Yes Gustav, it does, P.233.

I know no Basa Sasak at all, but in Balinese "ngelek" is to swallow.

Aiq? not the vaguest.

I have on occasion used a heat gun as a heat source, but I am very selective in what I use it on.
