Again i would venture that this is a peninsula blade. Is the name panjang used in that area?

It is a keris panjang from Peninsular Malaysia.. a 'young' blade, but beautiful nevertheless. David, it should fall within the panjang classification. These type do exists. I've seen quite a number of old examples.. although perhaps you've not seen any. This form can be found in the Malay archipelago. Yes, it's still known as keris panjang.
