Yep I am surely keep the pommel this way and I didn't intent to change anything to the crest. I was just curious about the strange shape of it.

Here a final post to complete this thread!
The scabbard had been restored by a good friend, who did a remarkable job!

Hi Maurice,

agree with Jose, good job.

Can we see a picture frontal from the front side?

On the other hand was this field repair very uniqueand have had it's own charme and I am seesaw what I like more.

Regards,

Detlef

Thank you Jose!

Detlef, I considered it very well if I should have it restored or not.
The reasons why I did it:
- The rope didn't seem to be an old "moro" repair (so not genuine).
- The whole bunti scabbardmouth was loose and only held
by the rope. So it wasn't possible to have the kris normally
in and out. And more damage could be made taking the kris
out and in not carefully done...

I need to make an image of the front, which I will post later.

Kind Regards,
Maurice
