Hi Lew,
I'd rather not say where the hilt was purchased .

We can discuss it via PM though .

John , here's a little information I gleaned from Google about Kocet kocetan .

Nechesh , it's ebony .
I do agree with you about the loss of the x factor in the new pieces .

On the other hand couldn't a 'talent' (practioner of majik) imbue the new keris with an x factor himself ?
I'll try to get another picture in this post of the pamor ; it is chatoyant .

Finally , yes the auction pictures were barely adequate .
