Hi Willem,
 
 
Yes I bought it, but it is at the customs for a week already right know! 
 
So I have to be a bit patient yet.
 
A similar type of wrapping you can find in "Quer durch Borneo" from Nieuwenhuis.

Same as you have wrapping of metal combined with rattan.
  
Where is this hilt from ? Own colection ? 
I know that I have seen this type of wrapping before, but I could not think of any book in my collection to find such a picture    
 
It would be nice if anybody here had similar handles ?
  
Best regards, 
Willem
