![]() Hello Sajen, Of course the blades are very different but the scabbard and hilt are similar. I can post a pic if required but the original one is very small. |

![]() Hello Alan, It is not my opinion but Haryoguritno's one who distinguishes between the 2 types of mendak, see pages 279 to 281 of the book "Keris Jawa" (and also in the EK pages 289 & 290). Regards |

![]() Thank you for the clarification Alan (you already mentioned it to me earlier), as I said nobody is perfect, but what matters is that the identification of the hilt in question was not correct. Regards |
