Attached are additional pictures of my hilt. I believe that it is original but in exceptional condition so may be not very old, the missing stones visible on the pictures were replaced. Best regards Jean |

The technique / workmanship looks very authenthic to me. Could it be that it was re-gilded ? Do you have any provenance ? Best regards, Willem |

Hello Willem,
The filigree decoration looks more elaborate than on some other (older?) pieces. The selut seems matching, I saw the pictures of a similar one belonging to a famous German collector recently. I don't know if the piece was recently gilded or not but would not think so because of the stones. Regarding the origin of the kris, it was found and refurbished by my partner in Solo. Best regards Jean |

Are these thin gold or gilt silver/brass? They look like gilt brass to me...

Nope just curious - gold would be royal and more expensive.
