[QUOTE=David

Obviously both you and Jazz know something about the origins of this particular kris that i am unaware of. Do any of you have a photo of this kris with it's "original" hilt?
QUOTE]

I know nothing about the original hilt, so no photos from me. I just know of the previous caretaker.
Jazz do you have any photos of it?

Bill, Regarding the silver jungayan kris posted on this thread, I would love to see more photos of it.

I really have to take some time and do some staining! But here are some more pics.

I don't have a picture of the original hilt of the blade, but maybe it's somewhere in the archives of this forum. This specific kriss handle with its original blade was posted two years ago by the prior owner:

Don't you think that also on the "original" blade, the handle seems too much big?

Bill, Thanks for posting the additional photos. The blade has beautiful lines.

Jazz, Thanks for the link.

Flavio, I believe it was made to be big, to show your status and rankings in the society.
