Halloo Jeff! This a Maranao-made "keping." It's usually mistaken for barung since there are some slight similarities; but the overall aesthetic and blade profile is different.
You know, I had that thought it could be a keping as I recalled that there were a number of threads on the topic but for some reason I didn't run it down. Im pleased to be receiving one. Have you seen a full metal handle on these before? Any thoughts on age?
