Tajong or Coteng?

Charles, i am surprised you got no responses on this one yet, though i suspect that a number of keris collectors are like myself and have less knowledge of the Peninsula and Thai keris forms than they do about Jawa, Bali, Madura and Sumatra.
From what i can gather Tajong hilts have "beards" and this does not. Tajong also tend to be a bit boxier than this, so if i were forced into an opinion i would most likely go with Coteng.
This thread may add more information from better informed sources than myself.
