Old Keris

Very nice picit kebo lajer. For some reason i am very strongly drawn to this type of keris. Perhaps it all the strong talismanic elements. I especially like this one. Nicely done. Would love to see it in good stain. It looks like the hair was used to keep the hilt tight on the pesi. Am i correct?
I am not convinced that we can be sure about "original" fittings. They certainly seem to have age and the wrongko seems to have been made for the blade, but this isn't necessarily the first dress this blade has seen...or it might well be, but i don't think we can ever be sure.
