When it comes to age, your guess is as good as mine.. the hilt looks older than the blade.. the blade material reminds me on one of mine.. (( link ))

Yup, a peninsular panjang - could be Kelantan

A Northern Peninsular variant.. probably from Kelantan or Pattani.

I am resurrecting this thread because is the only one which talks of something of my interest.

I don't have pictures yet of the kris.

Are there crossbreed examples of Panjangs with a Pattani or Coteng( Kingfisher) known to the community?

I have seen just a couple looking around internet but you never know if they have been assembled in this way . It would certainly make a nice hilt to hold on to while walking with such a weapon, but is it kosher?

I found another Panjang on line with a Patani Coating Hilt


these are pics from a auction concluded two years ago (so allowable here right?)

How usual or unusual is this combination?

[David]

I have seen Tajong hilts on panjang blades before, but as far as i know this is not a traditionally acceptable combination. The keris panjang you show here is a rather recent blade i think.

[milandro]

yes, there seem to be quite a few recent blades with pamor while the older examples are pamorless.

The one I bought doesn't appear to have any pamor
