Two small Coteng - keris selit or are they older?

Hi Detlef,

The other sheath has a broken daunan, but the batang is one piece with the cross-piece. It is quite a waste to cut the batang to fit the first sheath.

If you don't have a keris blade and coteng hilt to fit the first sheath, why not just leave them be for the time being. If you do get a keris blade and coteng hilt in the future, you could send it to Malaysia to be fitted, and at the same time, get a batang and metal works done.

Thanks PenangsangII for the explanations.
I hope to visit this area one day to find out more about this.

Hello Michael,

can you tell me if the hilts of your examples are smaller as normal.

Thank you,

Detlef,

Yes the hilts are also proportionally smaller than regular sized coteng.

Hi Kai Wee,

yes, I think you are right, it will be the best to do nothing until I have a blade and hilt!
