This mendak is very badly proportioned for this Keris, but since it seemed a bit old I preferred to ask before changing.

This kriss has no sheath. What type of sheath would be the most correct with this type of blade?

Sumatra keris (bahari?) with strange pamor.

Hello,

Here is an old sumatran keris with a unusual pamor (for me), but this is my first keris with this blade shape so I don't know much about it.
The blade isn't in good condition.

I have the same hilt on a bugis Keris from Sulawesi.
The handle looks old but newer than the blade and scabbard (The Ganja is missing, and the brass selut is too wide for the handle).

I don't know, but the sickle shape and the handle made me think of Java.
But, to have it in my hands, the polishing of the blade also reminded me of Bali. :confused:

When I bought it, I already knew that this balato didn't date from the period of headhunting, as you say I don't have the money for it.
For WW2 it is because I feel...

Thank to you two.

So I guess the changes were made in Europe or with a European style influence (probably after the handle was broken?).

Even though it was modified I'm glad I found a Palitai....
