Just got this straight-bladed keris in last week.
Probably a Bugis keris. I was wondering about the size of this piece. The blade measures 37 cm from the handle to the tip. It's heavy with a thickness of almost 1 cm near the ganja.
I know Bugis blades are strong, functional pieces, but are large blades like this one usual ?
The blade is uncleaned as I received it, but I can see pamor (look at the pic)
