King fisher hilt kriss ? Really recent or not ?

[francantolin]

Hello all,
Glad to hear the blade is javanese and learn about the origin and craftmanship of the metal parts,
Sure not an antique but there is work on it and I'll keep it in my sword collection .
For the ''gilded'' term , it's because it seems ''powdered'' on many parts and has a white metal color (under?) many parts
Maybe it is a mix of brass and other metal...

Internet......
I just found two brother and sister to my dagger,
Really exagerated prices and said to be19th century
( with lower craftmanship quality )

I can reassure you, I paid more than 15 times less for mine.
Beware one more time...XXXX

Well, to be be fair, i would say that the blade here is very probably an antique. What these sellers do is to redress old, well worn and mostly unwanted blades in this weird, low quality "blingy" dress. The cloth here are contemporary, but the blade still has some age.
