Careful and interesting pamor work. A pity about Kembang Kacang, looks like a repair/replacement.

Is the hilt within the standards of good malayan workmanship? Is it being cleaned in some way?

Sorry, the hilt doesn't look like ivory/gading. From the pictures I would guess Tridacna at the carvings coloured.

Very nice blade!

You have it in your hands and I am sure that you know what you have.
I only write what it looks like from the picture.

gold that you seen is not use for repaired the kembang kacang but only used to cover the original kembang kacang..if you pull it off, you can see the original kembang kacang behind it..that what some people told me when they saw this blade..

this hilt is called pipit teleng..one of the favorite hilt in terengganu..this hilt is new made i think and the material is ivory
