I don't think we see this more bulbous hilt form until the early 20th century though. Looks more like perhaps the 1920s to me. But frankly i'm not sure there has been enough scholarly work on these...

Well, to be be fair, i would say that the blade here is very probably an antique. What these sellers do is to redress old, well worn and mostly unwanted blades in this weird, low quality "blingy"...

Sorry, my in-box was full. Has since been rectified.
Yes, i believe this book is focussed enough on keris that it should be in the keris swap, though it makes sense here to, i suppose. :)

I also suspect that there is likely more than one reason why someone would choose to use human hair in this manner, whether their own or the hair of someone related or close to them.

I have encountered a few keris with hair wrapped around the pesi in the past. My own approach in these cases is to replace that hair, though i do always preserve it in a special container. I do...

By my thinking what is most important is that i am drawn to the keris than how old it is. I will say though that the vast majority of my collection tends to have antique status. This is possibly...

I have moved this over to the Euro Form because i frankly don't have a clue about this on and after 235 views in Ethno no one else did either.

I don't see any photo of this hilt in this thread that gives the impression that this hilt is rhino. You are correct that one needs to identify the tubular structure of rhino horn that would...

Nice knife Sid. While i know nothing about it i have to agree that it is not a wedhung. I don't believe it is a Javanese blade either. I tend to agree with the theory of a Sumatran origin.
