I'm afraid it is made for those who travel. The way the blade is attached to the hilt is not as it should be. Rattan bindings are not as one should expect with such a blade if the blade was the real...

I think we definitly can say the scabbard is Aceh. The scabbard is not original to this klewang. The scabbard is a damaged scabbard from a sikin panjang.
The sword is a sumatran pedang with a...

Because this type of daggers was made for the Dutch and after european standards I wouldn't call this nor a Golok nor a Pedang.
The shape of this dagger is more that of a Hartsvanger (Dutch) or as...

Just use the warangan and look how the blade appears. If done properly you can see the pamor and next step is up to you. How do you like the appearance of this keris. Looking at the keris it has has...

Eric,
I think it is a nice keris.
I've never seen such a repair so I think it is rare.
If the metal is "holy" like you say, it could be an addition to the keris.
I think the blade can be...

Welcome to the forum.
This is not a keris. A keris is from indonesia. This is a Moro kris from the Philipines.
The knowledgeable members will come soon enough with their information.

Freddy,
Looks more as a Tumbok Lada. The keris hilt doesn't belong there. I think the letters are a later addition on the hilt. Could be ordered by a Dutch soldier. Kind of souvenir bringback in...

Freddy,
One would almost think so. Those kerislike scabbards are often found on siraui. But the knife and guard have more a Philipine look to me. I would say an assembled piece.

Alan,
As always you are a well of inspiration.
In my opinion the keris is much younger than 1975. I based my opinion mainly on the thick sturdy pesi, hardly untouched by time. Also the cruel...

The only thing I can add, because it is completely beyond my field of intrest, that Jim's remark about J.J. Runkel is right. The inscription doesn't say TF but JJ. The line through the second J is...

I would say an original klewang in good condition.
This is a klewang No.1 Police. Identical to the Dutch Army klewang M.1912. The RVW stamp stands for the Dutch name of this police force, the...

Very nice knife, Freddy.
Just a lucky guess. Could be a knife of a horse blacksmith. They use chopping knives to cut the toe of the horse to fit a new horseshoe. In my opinion possibly a European...
