the blade looks very much orignal to the scabbard and the handle fits very well on the peksi. but in fact in a left hand position it fits best.

You're welcome.. This form of Palembang keris, is a favorite amongst martial arts practitioners. I was told that the angle of the bend assisted the flow of the blade when used as a weapon. Upon impact on the target, it's able to deliver a more powerful thrust, thus increasing the damage to the opponent. Even with a short keris. Btw, lovely blade.
