Thanks for that additional information. As someone who also has a passion for world percussion I find this explanation of extra interest.

Not at all, though that is indeed a magnificent repair job. Alan has given a hint as to what i am talking about, which is cutting down a Ladrang sheath to a Kacir style to remove the damaged areas...

Hopefully Alan Maisey will tag in because i am pretty sure i remember him talking about such modifications being made to a damaged ladrang in the past. My apologies Alan if i have misremembered this.

I would suggest moving this one to Miscellaneous. It certainly is not a weapon.

Just thought i would add this old example of a sheath that has been adjusted to fit a newer blade. I really cannot tell for sure, but this appears to have been done with some kind of resin which has...

Sorry Detlef, i did miss that question.
The ensemble came with that finish. It does seem to be some sort of shellac finish. A bit unusual, but i have no idea where or when it was applied.

Very nice pamor Tangkis blade. It has been my understanding that blades like this with a different pamor on each side are meant as a protection against black magic.

I'm afraid i need to agree with Gavin on this one. It would seem that your sheath was adapted to fit your blade. Especially considering the area where this keris seems to come from, a proper fit...
