Good Keris Panjang. But I think the hilt is not the right form.

This may be an older hilt form everything is very tight and seems original to the package that is why I posted it. Usually the ones I have seen in the past have an slightly curved hilts. There is a hollowed section or hole in the butt of the hilt that extends about a third of the way down and I can see the end of the pesi. Lew |

Hello Lew,
Good Sumatran blade, I guess. I also don't think that the hilt is original; seems more like a western hemisphere replacement... Regards, Kai |

The hilt is indeed a bit western influenced imho.
Enclosed one I recenlty bought for comparison. Also not the most elaborate of hiltforms. |

Nusa Tenggara Hilt?
Hullo everybody,
As the Keris Panjang is extant all over the archipelago, I would lean towards a Nusa Tenggara hilt (MVHO, anyway). Best. |
