Moose, I guess its up to you about the hilt. My guess is the hilt you just posted was made after 1960. Traditionally the hilts would be upgraded. To me the first kris seems odd, old blade, old kakatua, & then the rest is likely 30 years old or so. To me, a hundred year + blade should keep to the of 1930 or older dress. Think its what you feel is good, as long as nothing gets damaged, you can change it again later.

moose 49017?

the blade will definitely match that puhan more than the one i, err, the seller added with the blade. you should get it by tomorrow or friday at the latest

.

here's a weird one: when i first acquired that blade, i placed it in the oven just to warm it up so i can strip it with whatever oil or grease it has on. when i took it out a very strong scent of coconut product was coming out where the gangya and the blade connects. why would that be?

Battara,
Or anybody else that wants to chime in.

This is all premature because my new blade hasn't arrived yet. But I know the asang asang/s are missing on it.

If the handle above fits well with the blade how would I go about fitting new asang asang/s to this handle?
I presume forge the ends down thin and long so they slide into the handle along with the tang.
But that's just a guess.

I dunno maybe it's not done with this kind of handle? I have the pitch for setting the blade into the handle.
