Thanks,

Detlef, I think so too. But I wonder why because IMHO it was nicer without them.
Willem, the wrangka is loose but not otherwise damaged so it would be easier to just reglue it if it was like that before it was taken to Europe.
Marco, I am not home at the moment but I will have a look later this week to see if that's possible. Actually it came in the same lot as a Balinese "wedung" aka perupak so maybe there is a Bali connection regarding the hilt?
