Hello Michael,

I know the nose is supposed to be long.
But the silver work on the nose appears newer to me than the other fittings.
Further the tajong influence that comes to mind is the nose.
But that is about it. Otherwise the gayo hilts are indeed cleary derived from jawa demam hilts.

Best regards,
Willem
