Congratulations Willem,

Very attractive and rare pieces!
PS I noticed the very old hippo ivory handles always have a huge crack. Sometimes it even split the handle in two pieces. This especially can be seen at the rencongs of big gayo handles.

The patina is also beautifull.....

Beauties
 
Beautiful hilts!
I see, that the right one still has the gala (resin) filling in the carved ornamentation. Very nice.
Thanks for sharing.
