Alam,
Kerner's book is "keris griffe aus museen und privat sammlungen" pag. 144.
David,
I think the handle comes from Jawa only for a certain similarity with tegal /cirebon handle and for the base of handle that is simply curved without angles (but it is only my impression, my be it comes from Bali. Also the seller didn't know where it comes)
