Dear Community,
I'm from Moscow, Russia. Mainly my interest in edged weapons lie in the area of officer dress-daggers and Russian military sabres/dirks/cutlasses etc.
But some time ago I felt some passion to ethnical edged weapons of Asian region. The top interest I discovered towards Indonesian and Arab culture. Thus, I started a small collection of keris and jambia. Maybe my items could seem too simple for you - please, don't judge too strong.
So here is my keris part - and it will be growing in future.
The first aqcuired item - the clothes are new, seem to be from Sumatra, Palembang type scabbard, the blade was attributed as late Majapahit period.

The forum doesn't allow to place all images in one post, so I will add the other keris after the moderator check!
