Well, that was the question i was going to ask you... :)
Have we ever agreed what, if any, specific factors or features determine a Sumbawa keris? Is there any style specific to this island?
Certainly point of collection is no assurance the Sumbawa is the origin of this keris blade. :shrug:

Hi David, I'm not to sure for this blade was Sumbawa's blade, that's the reason for me to wrote it here.

I post this to Multiply site Last week but still haven't got the answer yet. And i'll let the expert inform for the origin prior to Find exactly sheath to it

I am not sure whether this so called Sumbawa keris is and old piece, or artificially aged new keris.
