Hi all,
I am the guilty one of snatching this keris from Detlef. I agree that the blade is Javanese and the sheath is Moro. The hilt is of the old half Jawa Demam-variation that is now and then found on kris swords from North Borneo and, even more rare, from very early collected kris from the Philippines. My hunch is that his ensemble is a Javanese trade blade that was redressed in North Borneo. |

Hello Michael,
I don't hold a grudge! Good that it went to the correct hands. Quote:

Thanks,
No, I will not restore the blade or scabbard. I can't find the old thread either but we both know what this hilt variation looks like. Here is one from Sejr Jensen's Kris Disk. |

I recently acquired a kalis with what looks like an indomalay ivory hilt, but the carved patten looks Bangsamoro.
