Thank you David. I am flattered. Especially as I didn't have time to comb through and cite references. East or North Jawa is exactly what I was getting at. If I remember correctly North Jawa and Sumatra influenced each other's hilts and something about the cut of the spirals made me think not Sumatra but Sumatran influence.
A front, back, and other side shot of the hilt would be very useful.
