Hello Dave,

agree with all what have been said to your nice keris.

Regards,

Detlef

Thank you all for your comments. Of all the many krisses that i own,
this ranks up there as one of my favorites. I showed this to a lady that
makes a lot of jewelry. She said that this exhibited some of the best work-
manship that she has seen..........Dave.

I am with David.
Particularly on the toli-toli opinion :-)

Indeed a very nice keris in aspect of both the blade as well as the dress.
The filigrain and granulation is very nicely done.

A little oil for the blade would be recommended ;-)

Best regards,
Willem

Willem: Yeah, i noticed that the blade needed to be reoiled. took care
of it...........Dave.

Nice pamor. Yes I agree - late 20th century dress.

Yes the blade is nice, but it seems it has some signs of surface rust.
A very light cleaning before oiling would be proper.

I see a lot of similarities between my pics ( attachments below ) with Daves pics.
I dont know whether they come from the same silver smith or not.
in lombok ,keris bugis and other kind of buginesse traditional weapons are come and found in sumbawa island ( sumbawa - dompu - bima ).
and when we found a blade without sheath or hilt ,we usually make and remake in local mranggi .
we do the same to the pendhok ( silver & gold ).
here i include some pics of my keris in silver combine with gold and gems in toli toli.
any comments are very welcom
thanks and regards ,
