			The first hilt is rather nice but it's not what collectors call Bayu, please compare to three of my hilts. But I can't name it, sorry. A priest or a king? Another god? The Bayu hilts I've seen, had or handled had fangs, your hilt with its pictured person doesn't have fangs. I just don't know.  
		
		
		
			  Mr. van Veenendaal is not with us anymore so I can't ask him. Maybe Alan has an idea!?The second hilt is a monster! ![]() ![]()   I've commented on the complete keris before. I hope Alan can tell us something about this sort of keris, like I said in the other thread, I've seen similar keris before, I never had such a keris so I never had an interest to know more about these types.Regards, Detlef  |
