Exactly, what I'm thinking. Hence the request to have better pictures of the blade.

Hello again,

I attached 2 bigger pictures. But I'm sorry, my camera is not so good. I'm trying to get a better camera for better pictures.

I hope you guys could help identifying this keris.

Thanks!

Welcome Bladder. I think this keris might be a fairly recent one. It doesn't seem to fit the Bugis bill for me regardless of the dress. I suspect this keris may have Madurese origins.

Hi Bladder,

I agree with Nechesh and BluErf that the keris which you attached is a new made from Madura Island. The scratched on the blade (Sorsoran), pamor work and the iron has shown it. But, I think its nice to begining collect the keris

I join the opinion of these gentlemen.

Could be the washing, but the ganja looks more recent then the blade.
The Blade itself does'nt seems to recent to me.
I agree with the other gentleman that the blade origins from madura.
... a nice keris after all.

Simatua,

The ganja doesn't belong to this blade and is added to make the blade complete.
Believe us, the blade is recent.
