Well, I am not at all a specialist of these krisses but the scabbard looks new or recent to me and the hilt seems to have some age but is not finely carved?

Hi Max,
Excellent refurbishing indeed, by the way the hilt of this kris is from Madura.
I own one ivory hilt probably made in Indonesia and (vaguely) copying the tajong design but with a less curved shape, see pics.

Very nice!

I always admire their skill in curving these nice hilts!
