Hello Ben,
Have you any pic? I think I've seen a few Jungayan-style hilts completely covered with brass sheet. While there are antique examples with pommels covered in silver, I've always thought of the brass-covered examples as more recent renditions possibly made for servicemen/tourists... A hilt completely made from cast brass would most likely point towards a Lumad (probably T'boli) origin. In this case, the blade could either originate from trade/capture or indigenous production. Best wishes, Kai |

Hi Ben,
I remember once having seen a Kris with the complete handle cast in brass. Unfortunately I can't find any reference pictures at the moment but as far as I remember it was either from Borneo or Peninsular Malaysia. And it had some age too... Michael |

Full brass handle I'm not sure, but brass full pommels have been documented. Pictures would be most helpful. Possible it could be Lumad.
