Well, I am not definitely sure that the scabbard & hilt of this kris originate from East Java, it could be a local Sumatran style or just the imagination of the maker, and other opinions are welcome.

Well, i was willing to accept somewhere in Jawa, but i've been wrong before.

Kind regards

Well, it's kind of a wonky fit, but i'm not convinced that necessarily means that it wasn't actually made for this blade since it is obviously work done by a non-professional carver.

I agree and the hilt seems to have been made by the same "master carver"

My opinion is that there was the need to dress a bare blade and somebody carved a rough hilt in an approximate Java style. As to the scabbard it probably was also roughly made for another blade, possibly by the same carver.

Hello,
so a non professional carver - popular/peasant work,
do you think it was made by sumatran people ?

Has someone please an example of sampir with this shape ?

Kind regards
