...the walrus one kicks major butt too - the color is stellar! Would you say that this one was tea-stained?

I am totally agree with you. It is a nice piece!

Anyway, what's with the green smudge on the base, Detlef?

Copper ions leaching from a brass/bronze selut do stain ivory green.

Just to follow up...regarding the raw gigi I saw in the field its clear thanks to Thor's photo that the material in question was sperm whale tooth as his photos precisely resembled those. So perhaps that's where gigi comes from

Both hilts are not from my own collection but from a friends collection. They are from the collection from Wolfgang Schilling who has shown both hilts in the publication "Faszination Kris, Zauber des Materials" as examples of the declared material and he is sure that is exactly this material.
Will ask him again about the Jawa Deman hilt.

Detlef
