Default Old Moro Kris restoration (Help)

I acquired this Moro Kris a few days ago from ebay, thought it would be a nice restoration project. I managed to solder the silver handle together.
What I do need is a brass or swassa asang-asang (clamp) similar to the other kris. (see last two photos).

Insight on the handle style would be greatly appreciated.
The handle is consist of silver and yellowish metal butt cap.
Thanks.

Hey Hideyoshi, if you don't mind i'm going to post your photos directly to this forum. Already the first link you provided has no photos on it and down the line this new link you provided most probably also will have no photos for reference making this thread useless for future research. It is always best to use the manage attachments tool below and upload directly to the forum so we can preserve these images in our archives for later discussions.

The handle on his Kris is more ornate, but the same style?
Beautiful Kris, Kino.
