Hello Rob,

Like Gustav stated, you have a Malay keris, the handle will be from hippo ivory. And please don't shorten the gandar, it would be a great mistake. I would polish the scabbard with a good oil, it will look much better after this. And I wouldn't replace the little damaged buntut of the scabbard with bone of some sort, I would use ivory or wood instead.

Regards,
Detlef
