Cleaning
Thanks Detlef,
Will get round to the cleaning this one, though I must confess I've also neglected some others in the keris cupboard that's due for some cleaning :o

Blade Material
I'm interested in the blade material. I've seen it in a lot of Bugis pieces as the iron has a rather silvery colour rather than the greyish tinge or approaching black hue found on other blades...

Interesting keris
I think this is a rare find. It's far easier to see pandai saras, carita and tok chu blades but something with this kind of central fuller rarely surfaces among collectors. As someone used to say to...

Stealth needed?
Hi Blu,

Dear Penangsang,
I think you're referring to Kampung Chenok (in Thai 'Chana') which is actually located very near Songkhla (Malay 'Singgora').

Reading of inscription
It is Malay in Jawi script.
My suggested reading is "Datuk Bendahara Pahang, Hadiah, Allah Selamatkan yang menyimpan"
