on the first pages of Van Z's book there is a wonderful executioner keris with a handle of the same shape of Lew's keris

The one in Albert's book is carved (and slightly asymmetrical) while Lew's seems to be turned. Also, the "mendak" doesn't look Indonesian. The hole apparently going completely through the hilt doesn't help to convince me of its Indonesian origin either.
