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. |

I also believe that it originates from Cirebon because of the stylized arms and slim waist. Regards Jean |

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

thank's for respond. Yes, the hilt in the third book from Tammens on page 161 reminds indeed to my hilt. Regards, Detlef |
