I will start with a big bulky handle in the general shape of a Solo handle. The patras are carved in an unusual way. My guess that this handle is from East Java but I can be wrong by this. Every information about this handle is very welcome.

Hi Detlef,
Interesting old hilt outside the Central Java pakem and I would also attribute it to East Java.
