Patrem keris for comment

Hi All

Just won this little gem today. Can you let me know if you think it's a good one? I think it may need a mendak?

Lew, it looks like a peninsula piece to me so i'm sure that Shahrial or Kai Wee can put a better ID on it for you. The pics aren't too good, but it looks well crafted to me. Certainly worth more than you paid for it.
And what i think you need is a pendokok, not a mendak. Whatever is there in between the hilt and blade looks inappropriate to me.

Thanks Dave.

I just think there is some material coming up through the hilt and there is no metal there at all. Will post better pics when it arrives.

Here are some better pics of this small gem. It is going to need a nice pendokok to top it off.

The pendokok still looks a wee bit too large, but i would imagine that it would be really hard to get a good fit with such a small keris unless you had one custom made.
All in all it looks like a nice little patrem. I am still assuming it is a peninsula patrem and it's the first i've seen from that area. Anyone else have one from there to show?
