The grip rings are machine made, you can buy them from large jewlery suppy houses (you buy by the inch) & the ferrule has been cut with a rotary drill like a Dremel.
Uuuh, I glanced over the ring details; they appear to have been soldered into place, too.
I didn't want to sound too paranoid but Bill seems to be right...

I have a Ivory kris that has fairly good providence that it was made around 1965 & already has patina.
Ivory often gets patinated which makes it very difficult to ascertain age.

Everything but the blade, stirrup, & perhaps the wood from the scabbard is done within the last 5 years.
Yup, that's quite possible. Thanks, Bill!
