Hello,

today I show the newest member of my tiny collection, a Keris Panjang with an unusual 5 Lok Blade.

The blade length is 22,5" or 57cm, whole length with scabbard is 29,5" or 75cm.
The hilt looks like South Sulawesi type and is maybe younger than the blade. I think, the dapur with 5 Lok is unusual for a Keris Panjang. I like the twisted pamor pattern in the area with the waves. The blade is still quite sharp and I think at least solid quality forging.

The blade itself is heavily corroded and was recently etched.

I know, here are some very experienced experts with very impressive knowledge and so I would be very happy, to read some informative comments about this Keris.

Thanks in advance for any comment and best wishes,
Roland
