Keris for ID

Nice Bugis influenced keris with an unusually complex pamor for this style. The wood looks beautiful as well. Nice catch.

Thanks for all the answers guys! I've not bought the weapon yet as I wanted input from experts such as yourselves first. Is it possible to tell approximately how old it is?

The dealer is asking £145 ($232 US). That seems a reasonable price given the information above, would you agree?

Actually I did a little searching with the information given above and found a similar example:

Early 20th Century Malay / Sumatran Bugis Keris
