Bali Keris with 10 luks...?

I agree with David. The only thing i would do is trying to get a warangan treatment. The missing luk doesn't bother me at all on this keris. It looks to me as a fine keris.

Hello Athanase,

I don't think that a Balinese would come to the idea to remove a luk by this blade. And all Indonesians who are familiar with keris would count 11 luk by it, in the case by your blade it is more as clear that it is a 11 luk blade. But have seen other blades where you need more as imagination.

Processed get blades where the edges are eaten by corrosion IMVHO.

Decent old Bali or Lombok blade, would like to see it stained.

Best regards,
Detlef
