AlamShah, thanks for your yet again 'pictorial' explanation

If I may ask, what's the difference between the straits & Sulawesi hilts?
From my own observation, there's not much difference, maybe the way the keris is held the straits way - pinch grip (cucuk sanggul style), and Sulawesi way - real pistol grip (segenggam padi) due to taller pendokok stem. But this is of course subject to personal preference of the wielder
