Pages 27, 28, 29 of Sumatera section 3 in Jensen's Krisdisk does show similar hilts that he names as Jambi.

Thanks for the pointer.

Hullo everybody,

Just off the cuff ..... it reminds me of a Peninsular Kakatua hilt.

Best,

I've seen a few examples of this type of hilt on kerises auctioned on ebay. The kerises all look Sumatran to me. Someone told me these are Jambi in origin, but I think it could the source of the information could have come from the same one that everyone is quoting here.
