Definitely a mistake to replace the hilt Jean - I hope you have kept the original. Jambi I'd say and a very nice example. Congrats!

And I take the opportunity to show you another kris may be from the same origin but the blade has no pamor (it was cleaned and lightly stained, see top picture), ganja iras (just a line drawn at the base), and the warangka is in moon crescent shape. I received it without hilt and fitted this small Jawa deman piece but may be it is not appropriate again, opinions will be welcome. Best regards Jean |

I originally thought these were from Palembang but I've also seen evidence that they may be from Bengkulu. The hilt you have is unfortunately not right for the piece. Afraid I don't have a good photo of my example and its dark out so I can't shoot one now...maybe this weekend if there's time...I attach a photo I stole off of ebay a long time ago. Hopefully nobody recognizes it

Thank you Dave and I have a similar piece to yours attributed to South Sumatra and with a "Durga" style hilt also; however the other one was supposed to originate from Jambi because of the wide and strong blade but I agree that Bengkulu is a more likely origin and so I will also replace the hilt!
Sorry for the picture quality, the good one magically disappeared!  Regards |

As I understand now, the sheaths shown in the last 3 posts could be also typical for Lampung.
