Kamardikan Lombok or Bali kris (Hilt & Pamor question)

Hello JustYS,

thank you very much for your response. Very useful food for thought.

The Balinese pamor Ilining Warih looks like a very good possibility.

I can definitely see the flowing water lines .

On de other hand this pamor appears to be called in different areas (Java) Adeg Rambut or Rambut (hair) which according to tradition would have different magical properties .

The blade is indeed not as polished as most of the older Balinese blades but is stil much smoother of many Javanese kisses in my possession. Also it is thinner and slightly shorter than my other Balinese kisses.

My hypothesis, given these things, is that this may be a simpler manufacture from Lombok.
