Well, the bottom line is that it is quite a beautiful keris regardless of place of origin, which was probably only of passing concern to the person who placed it in Sumatran dress to begin with.

This is what this keris looked like when I had it.

Yes, that is correct and it is a wonderful piece. Someone told me it is not Sumatran but Javanese keris bilah and that kick me start wondering.
