Keris for comment

[Sajen]

I personally think that it is a village made keris from Lombok. I have seen some keris like this and own a keris with a similar blade. Will post pictures later.
Like Alan write are the influences from other islands are special on Lombok great.

Hello Jean,

I was referring to the keris from Fheng. The keris you have shown have indeed some affinity with a keris I own and was with some certain purchased on Sumbawa. When you like I can present pictures from this keris as well.

Best,

Detlef

Hello Detlef,
Yes, please show us the pictures of your kris for reference and discussion.
And regarding the differentiation between the Bugis blades from Sumbawa or Lombok and those from Sulawesi, Riau Islands, and Malaysia, I am also very confused, may be Pak Hartadi could enlighten us about the subject?
Unfortunately there is nothing mentioned about it in the recent book "Senjata Pusaka Bugis".
Please also remind us the reference of the thread from Alan.

Here at first pictures from my Lombok keris with similar blade. The contrast of the pamor is very low.

Here one thread where are shown "Sumbawa" keris and Alan write about the look of Sumbawa blades.

But when I remember correct there was a other thread where Alan write about the pamor of Sumbawa keris. Can't find it for the moment.

And here the Sumbawa keris in my possession which I bought once from Pak Hartadi.
