Keris Barcelona

It's hard to judge too much about this keris based upon these photos Tim, but the hilt is nothing to write home about. A fairly contemporary and primitive example of that hilt form as far as i can tell. I could be wrong, but the blade looks like it could be a Javanese keris singo with a bit of kanatah added. I can't tell if it is a particularly good or old example. If so the blade seems mis-dressed.
