Hello,
since I think that is your first post here: Welcome!
I think that your handle and wrongko are old and belong most proable together, it seems that both carved from the same wood. Also when it is not the finest carving I have seen is it a good acquisition. I am with Alan; I as well have only seen a few lion wrongkos which have been old and even if I don't would have killed to get one I would be glad to get an old one.
Regards,
Detlef
