As to blade origin, I believe I can see a lot of Jawa in the blade, but the complete keris still qualifies as Bugis style.

Milandro antique rhino can freely be sold in the UK. It cannot be exported though. Andbthe EU and other nations bans it completely as I understand it. Ivory is much more restricted than rhino in the UK.

I see that the trade of Rhino horn is allowed in the UK to be traded, provided it is from before 1947, which this specimen, may be.
