In respect of Sajen's hilt, I do not know, because I cannot see it clearly enough.
What generated my question was the the other "old" items I have seen on this site, which are not necessarily keris related.
The comment is not about Sajen's hilt, it is about the concept of old.
A few months ago a friend bought an "old" keris hilt from an ebay seller in Queensland. He showed it to me and asked my opinion. It was about as old as last weekend's Sydney Morning Herald.
When he queried the description of "old" with the seller he was told it was most certainly old, in that it was no longer "new" --- whatever that might mean.
So now I'm asking for opinions on what we might think "old" means.
