I've got a few more Lampung ones but they're not ready to photograph. If I ever get them cleaned up and repaired I'll post pics of them.

Good hilt Marco, is it a recent one? And you like to show us your other ones?

Yeah, patina is fine---as long as it doesn't include rotten decayed old shellac that picks up dust and fills all the carving detail. I've got some metal (silver?) ones too, a couple of which need careful repair.

Another hilt from the table, a small sea ivory hilt. Does someone know from where this hilt? Is it maybe a hilt from Sijunjung?

Sorry, I am out of order for other work because I have got a Arthroskopie at my right knee, so I am sitting and clean my handles and so coming some question in my head.
What do you think, is this Jawa Deman from Cirebon or Sumatra? My guess it is a Cirebon hilt.

Hello Detlef,
Tammens says Indragiri (Riau) for these hilts, those from Sijunjung have a similar pointed beak but are shorter

A very nice one, and I know now why I want to clean my hilts.
