Coteng restoration project

Alexis, i am a little confused. You are show two different keris blades here as well, i believe, what appears to be two different hilts as well.
If you are looking for feedback on the hilt with the silver selut and the wavy blade, the beak replacement looks fairly good (though the photos are not good enough to really be able to tell if the repair shows), but the silver work on the selut seems really poorly fitted. The sheath itself seems to me a correct form, but seems a bit off proportionately. That could just be the angle of the photography though.
