Flavio,

Is the band over the pommel a repair or decoration? I have one that looks like a repair on mine.

Nice Kris,

Bill

G'day Flavio,

Nice keris u got there. I like the repair on the pommel. It is not according to period as Ian had said, but it is not a cheap repair IMO. I got pommel that is screwed back into place which is horrible. Congrats on the piece.

Hi Bill and Rasdan, thank you very much for your kind words

Bill the silver band on the pommel is a decoration and i think that one time it went until the original tail, than when this one was broken also the final piece of the silver band is jumped away.

I was able to etch the blade and here is the nice pattern that it shows!

I like the pattern that is coming out. I would suggest a little more etching - very nice.
