West Java, the hilt (perah) is trying to mimic "Maung Buhun" hilt style .. Maung = tiger, buhun = ancient, old, sacred

The face is very similar to a tenegre hilt that I have.
O/A length is 18"
Blade is 13"
Blade thickness is 3/8"
The scabbard bands are brass and tin ( I think beer can )
All comments welcome.
Thanks
Roy
