A second purchase

Hello All,
I go some risk by my second purchase in last time by e-bay because the pictures not very clear and small. But I believed to see that the handle is from the rare Tridacna clam shell.

When it arrived by me some days ago my guesswork are confirmed, but the wrangka of the keris are broken by transport. It need some hours of work to restore it. I give the keris a new hilt and hope that you can confirm that it matching together. I guess that the Gayaman wrangka is more East Java style so I give the keris a handle from my collection from bone or deer horn from East Java or Madura. Blade has dapur Jalak Ruwuh with pamor Sader Saler Wengkon.
Here first pictures from the handle.
