Congrats Bill !
These pictures are better than the ones you had before.
Also nice to see the size next to a normal sized Moro keris.
The makers of this keris picked only a very small piece of a VOC blade.
VOC swords where not very big/heavy but certainly bigger that what remains within this hybrid keris.
Normally VOC markings are not placed under the tang. So This hole is not a original hole for attaching the hilt.
By the way, this reminds me of a thread by Antonio Cejunior, where he introduced a contemperary Moro / Tanto hybrid knife.
Some forumites where pretty nasty on his creation.
In this case the maker of this odd Sumatra / Moro / VOC mix is not amongst us. That must be the reason of absent criticism. not ?
