Interesting item. I just want to make sure my conversions are correct. 66 pounds you say!

You're right, can't see anyone weilding that around.
What makes you qualify this as pusaka? I know there have been many conflicting opinions on what qualifies something as pusaka. How did you acquire this? Did it's previous owner have no clue as to it's original purpose? I would assume (perhaps incorrectly

) that a pusaka which has passed hands across generations would come with some stories, especially to purpose when it is not as obvious as a keris blade.
