Thank you to everyone for your comments. If I may ask a few questions, please forgive my ignorance regarding keris and appropriate terminology.

What does the term, "Malela" mean? Is it a reference to geographical orgin or blade type?

Is is a correct assumption that the hulu it is wearing does not belong to this type? If so, which type is correct and where might I get one and the correct pendongkok?

Is this style of blade considered more for fighting than one with luk?

Does this type usually have pamor?

Thanks, again.
