keris with prussian hanger hilt
Hi, everyone.
Some time ago I bought interesting keris with hilt from prussian infantery habger. Keris blade has very good quality, you can see at the pics. Before I have seen keris blade with european plug bayonet hilt in Stocholm Royal Museum of Arms (bottom pic). At the museums catalog it specified as a keris. It would be very intersting to see comments about it from forum members. |

They both look like nice blades .
We have seen keris blades re-hilted in the European style before, but this is the first plug bayonet hilted keris blade I have seen . |

They do both look like nice blades. Not something that i would find very interesting for my own collection, but i can see why they might attract others.
Also a shame that the Prussian hilted one has the hilt attached backwards to the usual usage of the blade. Makes it even less appealing to me, i'm afraid.

Keris
With the hilt attached backward, it seems that the person who fixed it are not familiar with using Keris as a weapon...
