Moshah,
I've browse thru' Jean Greffioz's book.. unfortunately there is no example of a Selayar hilt (both badik and keris form). I'll post an example soon.

Thanks for the link, Alam.

However I found that pak Majid's Selayar hilt is more twisted and bowed than of Detlef's. Why is that so? Any opinion?

It was quite twisted and almost look like a Sumbawa hilt....(anyway the pix itself wasn't that clear... )
