The Jawa Demam hilt looks very S. Sumatran! If it is from Cirebon, then that puts the origin of Jawa Demam in Cirebon, spreading to Sumatra and Malaya!

I am not sure, BluErf, whether this kind of warangka form was originally from Tegal or not. Because, some of old Cirebon and Banten collections also found with this kind of style.
I don't think Jawa Deman is originally from Cirebon. But, as a coastal region that influenced by some foreign culture from abroad, some Cirebon kerises I found in this area, wore this kind of hilt.
