Hi again,
forget: yes the hilt shown in Kris Gli Invincibli is the same figure like your hilt. The buckle on his head is one typical sign of Rare Kumara.

Hello Daniel,
here at first the hilt I own. I think it's from a betel crusher from Bali.

And here the page from Kerner's book.
Hope it is not against the rules to show this.
Best regards,
