Big size Antiques Bali Keris

The Kembang Kacang Pogog Robyong (I apologise for using Javanese terms for a non-Javanese keris) looks to me like later reshaped from remnants of the original Kembang Kacang - becouse it's to small, also the features on it (jenggot?) are of completely other size (compare the Dha's) then on Greneng. Yet the Greneng itself is somewhat strange - Ron Dha Nunut is okay (the first Ri Pandan, if we call this feature so, is missing), yet at Gonjo side of it there is no Dha at all. These liberties in details, pamor work and probably the bigger size let me think more of Lombok then Bali.
