Hi Lew,
I'd rather not say where the hilt was purchased .

We can discuss it via PM though .

John , here's a little information I gleaned from Google about Kocet kocetan .

Nechesh , it's ebony .
I do agree with you about the loss of the x factor in the new pieces .

On the other hand couldn't a 'talent' (practioner of majik) imbue the new keris with an x factor himself ?
I'll try to get another picture in this post of the pamor ; it is chatoyant .

Finally , yes the auction pictures were barely adequate .

Very good indeed Mick !

Would that I could afford such goodness .

Hey Mick, i think you should qualify the use of the term "good one" here. Maybe "here's what a nice gold and bejewelled one looks like"

Frankly, i find yours a bit too much for my tastes and much prefer Rick's. This would also be an incorrect hilt for Rick's blade (but then so would Rick's since this isn't a priest's blade

) as it far outshines the blade itself. It is, however, beautifully executed and i thank you for showing it.
