gold that you seen is not use for repaired the kembang kacang but only used to cover the original kembang kacang..if you pull it off, you can see the original kembang kacang behind it..that what some people told me when they saw this blade..
this hilt is called pipit teleng..one of the favorite hilt in terengganu..this hilt is new made i think and the material is ivory
