Default keris with Cirebon gading handle
Hello,

I have just bought via ebay this keris: http://www.ebay.com/itm/140779165817...84.m1439.l2649
Not for the keris byself but mainly for the nice Cirebon (sea?) ivory handle.

Comments are very welcome,

Detlef

Detlef, the sheath is not appropriate for the hilt
I know you didn't buy the blade, but it is nice in its simplicity.
If possible please post larger photo(s) with good focus on the hilt once you have it.
Congratulations with this nice addition!

Thank you Gene and Chandra! I think the complete ensemble is a put-together, wrongko is Yogya style, handle and selut Cirebon and blade maybe Madura. The real value is the handle in my opinion. Will post pictures when I have received the keris.

Regards,

Detlef

I added the thumbs up on this one.

I stopped being surprised about Detlef good buys and bargains.

This is a quality hilt that every collector would like to add to his collection.

Best regards,
