Gustav,
Frankly speaking, this is also what I observed locally but in absence of other references I am not pretending that this is the thruth (many Minang krisses were confiscated by the Dutch after the 19th century civil war).
I attach the pictures of 2 representative specimens, the
sampir of some Minang keris looks like the one from Dan indeed, but not at all the stem (often slimmer and silver decorated, and with a short neck).
