Hilt Identification
			 
			 
			
		
		
		
			
			Here is a photo of a dagger hilt. 
 
It is from Indonesia, & when I acquired it, it had a label attached by a previous owner that gave date & place of acquisition, I have not included the complete dagger because I do not want to influence anybody's opinion. 
 
This question is directed only at the hilt shown. 
 
Over the years I have had opinions from a number of people in respect of place of origin of this hilt, & I have my own opinion that has been formed from pictures seen in books. 
 
Perhaps a total of 8 or 10 opinions in all --- people & books. 
 
All these opinions vary to a greater or lesser degree. 
 
Does anybody have a confident opinion on place of origin of this hilt?
