Thanks gustav for the explain on hipo hilts. I think it still will be a quistion if this hilt is hippo or not?

Mr Maisi.

I will make photo,s this weekend wihout the hilt.

How about the pamor and the origin , malay ?

Danny and Gustav are correct, the hilt is very old hippo ivory. Tomorrow I will show a other hilt and how you can indicate hippo ivory, Gustav give already the right direction. Lines with small black dots is the best sign for hippo ivory.

I am in agreement that the gonjo on this keris is indeed missing.

Ditto that.. 'ganja hilang' (missing ganja) category..

Nice hilt, the pendokok (hilt ring), not a form commonly associated with Peninsular Malay piece.. the pamor, using malay pamor name, is gigi yu (shark teeth).

Guys , here some photo,s of the peksi.

If the ganja is lost or removed it happend a long time ago , there is no diffrence in collor on the peksi and the peksi has the same collor tone as the blade.

Any body has a idea for the age from the blade.
