There used to be a large number of Sumatran exiled to NTB and served as Moslem Kiyai/Ulama/Priest along with their family. Kampung Melayu/Melayu Village do exist in Bima and the Sultan of Bima very respect to this people.

Hello Sipakatuo,
thank you very much. So which specifics let you think that this is a Sumbawa keris? The keris you show have indeed a very similar selut/pendokok. But what is with extra mendak? I am sure that the hilt, pendokok and mendak very long together with the blade.
