Another question, would you etch the blade or would you let it in this state?
45 cm inside scabbard, 43 cm without, blade with gonjo 35,5 cm.

Thank you in advance, I am curious to read your comments.

A Bugis keris and probably etching using Lime would bring out the common nice pamor. It might be from Riau region.
