Hullo David,

I deliberately didn't include the blades as it may detract from the fact that the pieces are grouped according to hilts. So my prime interest in this group is the hilts. The Djawa sheaths are used to remind me that the associated hilts are Djawa.The keris pandjang hilts are original to the kerises (popular until the end of the 19thC.).
I may do the blades at some time in the future, bit by bit. I'm not articulate enough and can only 11-finger type.
Best,
