Hi Willem ,

Thanks for answering , I also have the idea that the buntut Could be à replacement but if it is it happend à long time ago but maybe the sheat was ment to be like this . If we look at sewars from Gayo we can find also this kind of ivory "buntut"

It wassen't me that did buy the keris from the seller , but it is mine now .

Don't worry About the blade i will not stain it but i will remove the biggest part of the rust to protect the blade.

My thought was also going in the direction of Gayo but not sure yet , especialy because the info from the seller ( no collector ) is that this keris was à gift from a malysian friend long time ago.
