EBay pick-up
I casually threw out a bid on this keris simply because i liked the hilt. Kind of a bet an forget thing. The blade is nothing exciting and the sheath needs a little re-furbishing. But it was this hilt that caught my attention. And the price was right. Any thoughts?

Interesting hilt - not seen this type of carving on this kind of hilt before.
(Then again there are a lot of things I haven't seen before.....) |

Very nice hilt with the kandit, I think this style is from the late 19th century. The price was indeed a very good one. I want to go for the other "keris" from the same seller, only for the hilt, but it went to much up. Please post pictures after your maintain.

So does anyone know the area this hilt comes from? East Jawa maybe?
