Well Marco, we've had quite a bit of discussion on this point with Bugis style hilts so i just gotta ask. Freddy, is the hilt fixed in this position or can you easily move it?
Oh, and i concur. Nice keris! It certainly is a Bugis influenced blade. I also have not seen this style hilt in this form so perhaps it is South Sumatran, though i don't think Palembang.
