Your statement above is not entirely correct.
Jensen quotes a reference where this provenance is claimed -
J.W. van Dapperen: Krisheften. Nederlandsch Indië Oud and Nieuw 1913, p 108.
To question it you have to go to the source of the claim.

Anyone here who has the article and can copy this page?

Thanks Michael. I don't own Jensen's KrisDisk so i'm glad you make mention of this here. Unfortunately i also don't have access to van Dapperen book either, but hopefully someone does. My internet searches were dead ends.

Well, it has just come to my attention that this hilt is currently up for auction on a Dutch site and you all know (or should know) what that means…
Thread closed!
Sorry KLUNGKLUNG, but this earns you a 2 week vacation.
