Hello David,

Quote:
Well, it sure doesn't look Moro to my eyes. Certainly a Malay Sundang.
Nah, it's not a Malay keris sundang. It's a badly done modern repro, most likely from a culture (Madura?) that never had any kind of keris sundang.

I think i should probably transfer this one over to the Keris Forum
Not unless you want to cause sore eyes...

We have always discussed legitimate keris sundang on the ethno forum, not in the warung kopis... [Trying to cut a line between Moro kris, Brunei kris/keris sundang, and Malay/Riau/Indo keris sundang would be pretty futile in many cases - quite a few have Moro blades, anyway!]

Regards,
Kai
