At first sight I would say the scabbard is a bit worn out. The blade fits pretty well in the scabbard mouth.
A close up picture of the front of the ukiran would be more helpful like the fourth picture of the backside of the ukiran. The onyx stones in the mouth are a little bit too much in my opinion. Oil the blade well to prevent from further rusting. Maybe you can remove the rust between the blade and the gonjo with rubbing with oil. |

This form is not recognizable to me. It may be a mismatch in the mendak and other parts of the hilt.
Also, I don't think the onyx belongs there. |

I have never seen a hilt in this form.
So why add the ruby and onyx ? I like the selut. Do you have pictures of the bottom of the Ukiran without the selut/mendak ? Best regards, Willem |

It says that my camera is not working OK and so it is difficult to make pictures. Furthermore I think ovrall it is a nice keris which you do not see a lot. Also looking at the hild when seperate from the blade. The hild looks old at the bottum. A combination of a luxe hild with a batun puh kris looks not obvious but look at the front page of the book "The Kris a passion from Indonesia" by Jean Greffioz. and enclosd picture (guy in the chair with batun puh kris on his back). Sorry again for the dutch |
