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 |

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. Regards Jean |

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.
http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...hlight=sumbawa 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. |

Hello Sajen,
Thank you for the very interesting pictures and thread, it is clear that the Sumbawa kris is an extremely complex and fascinating subject yet to be studied! Regarding the kris from Fheng, I would still attribute the blade more probably to Sumbawa or another Bugis origin than to Lombok because of its size (350 mm) Regards Jean |
