Well done, Jose! I am a big fan of your restoration work.

The second kris -- What material is the handle made of? I remember seeing this for sale but the pictures then were confusing as well.

Thank you! The second kris hilt I think is made of horn.

Thank you.

I don't think the third one had a separate ganga.

It's a good thing to bring a work of functional art back to it's former glory. Bravo!
