New addition #2 Panjang or maybe not

[kino]

Is this a Panjang?
Blade 22 in. No visible pamur.
Hilt is horn , upper part is pierced.
Thoughts??

Another nice find. You have been fortunate indeed lately Kino!
I would call it a panjang, but it might have a different classification. It has those beautiful long fullers like your carita which is not usually a feature on the other panjangs i have seen. But the length and other features look right for a panjang. Beautiful non the less.
Again i would venture that this is a peninsula blade. Is the name panjang used in that area?

It is a keris panjang from Peninsular Malaysia.. a 'young' blade, but beautiful nevertheless. David, it should fall within the panjang classification. These type do exists. I've seen quite a number of old examples.. although perhaps you've not seen any. This form can be found in the Malay archipelago. Yes, it's still known as keris panjang.

Alam Shah, At what age would you place this blade at?

When it comes to age, your guess is as good as mine.. the hilt looks older than the blade.. the blade material reminds me on one of mine.. (( link ))

Yup, a peninsular panjang - could be Kelantan

A Northern Peninsular variant.. probably from Kelantan or Pattani.

I am resurrecting this thread because is the only one which talks of something of my interest.

I don't have pictures yet of the kris.

Are there crossbreed examples of Panjangs with a Pattani or Coteng( Kingfisher) known to the community?

I have seen just a couple looking around internet but you never know if they have been assembled in this way . It would certainly make a nice hilt to hold on to while walking with such a weapon, but is it kosher?
