Hello David,

It's some sort of white non ferric metal, maybe silver or mamas. And I bet that the two other holes were filled with metal originally, I will take some close-ups later. The kujang is at the moment in restore status.
The filled hole and the original old appearance of it was the reason I bought it.
I only will remove the rust, a little bit polish and a new etch of the blade. The mendak was broken in parts after removing the handle, it will get an other old one.

Regards,
Detlef

Just noticed that I don't need to take new pictures, I can use the good seller pictures. You can see why I think that the other holes were filled once also.
