Note the old restoration of the crest, that has been broken off a long time ago!

A very nice Kris. Congrats. I love that dark aged ivory.
That pin on the crest might not have been a restoration. Maybe it was there at the initial carving of the ivory, pinned the crest for added support, and then the crest broke off with much handling. I have a Kris with a bone kakatua pommel that has pieces of the crest pinned together. I'll post a photo when the sun rises.
