Although may is a little while ago.....congratulations with your wedding and this very nice catch. I think you are one of the lucky guys( like me) having a partner very supporting in our hobby.
Honeymoon must bring lucky, because i also brought back some nice kerises from Java.

As a keriscollector only, i have just a little the knowledge of swords.

A very interesting piece, This sword is very simular from the ones i have seen from sumatra. Can it possible from origin sumatra and modified( not recently, but in the past) to "local taste"?
looking at the photo's i can agree you purchaged an nice old and collectible piece.

greetings
