Moose, I guess its up to you about the hilt. My guess is the hilt you just posted was made after 1960. Traditionally the hilts would be upgraded. To me the first kris seems odd, old blade, old kakatua, & then the rest is likely 30 years old or so. To me, a hundred year + blade should keep to the of 1930 or older dress. Think its what you feel is good, as long as nothing gets damaged, you can change it again later.
