<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 212230, member: 2844&quot;]The troops are on it. I asked a keris friend who knows her Indonesian pistol hilts. Seemed like a good idea. She had never seen this style of Moro hilt before, but said the bottom part of the hilt looked like a Moro gunong hilt ring, which is bulbous. Here is a Vikingsword page on gunongs, with pics:</p><p><a href="http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showthread.php?t=15940" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showthread.php?t=15940" rel="nofollow">http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showthread.php?t=15940</a></p><p>A bit down the page it says that after WWII the gunong hilt changed to a pistol grip. </p><p>My friend suggested that your keris-hilt might be a marriage, which it could very well be. She has e-mailed a Moro expert, so we&#039;ll have to wait and see.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
