Kris with coral hilt

Hello Sid,

Good Malay keris blade, indeed!

The scabbard looks like a modern replacement (or maybe refurbished).

Are you really sure the hilt is carved from akar bahar?

Regards,
Kai

That's a nice Perak Keris Sid, congratulations, those hulu types and material are seldom seen these days.
