Hi Danny. I believe that would be the temper line.

Nice ensemble.. I did wonder when it will be coming out in warung kopi..

tada!
Does the base of the hilt sits nicely in the hilt cup? seems a bit tight..

I was waiting for a bit of sun Shahrial; it's a rare occurence this time of year where I live .

It's a pretty good fit .

The bottom of the hilt touches the bottom of the Pendongkok cup.

Most of the way around the base the gap is less than a sixteenth of an inch between cup and hilt; except where the base of the hilt goes out of round; then the gap widens a bit more.

The thing that pleases me most is that the Keris Swap is working out !!

Congratulations is in order..

Lovely hilt, ok pendokok.. v. nice blade and sheath..

Agree Shahrial; thanks .

The pendongkok is a pretty thick casting .

The blade is pre-war; it is quite sturdy yet very topographical .

Anyone think this might be a peninsular keris ?

Hi Rick,

I still remember that you have shown the hilt in a thread I started, now it is complete.
When I look at my last thread it is good possible that the keris is from Riau or Peninsular, the sampir is similar. But Alam, Kai Wee or Rasdan will be able to say more about this.
