Here's a pic of the back of the handle. Between the first and second row of 'curls' there's a small imperfection. What do you think, Sanjen ?

When I look to this picture it's possible that this handle is from bone or antler.
No change to remove the handle? sajen |

Hi Freddy,
Nice one. I would call it a sewar, regardless of the type of handle. but that again I am not very strict with all these names. Handle looks very much like wood to me. Wood can be very hard. Take a normal javanese ukiran and try to make a dent in it with your fingernail. Your nail might break, but that will be all  Ps. couldn't you stick to the african arms  keris fever all over again

Hello Freddy,
That's a nice sewar blade. If it does fit the scabbard well, it may be Minang Kabau. I agree that the hilt seems to be a later replacement. Regards, Kai |
