Moro Bugis Sewar

[Pendita65]

Hi Detlef,

i know the Malay keris never had an asang asang, i was refering to the Moro style keris for the asang asang. And I know that the Malay keris needs a good cup under the Hulu or Hilt.

Regards, Martin

Hi Martin,

I've written "kris" and I mean the sundang with this term. Many Malay sundang don't have clamps. Can you see any signs that there had been a clamp (asang-asang) before?
For your Malay "keris" I am maybe able to help, I have some pendokok assembled. Would need the diameter of the handle. We speak about this by mail!

Regards,
Detlef
