Straight Palemabng Keris

[kai]

Hello Gavin,

What's the end limit for them Kai?

I don't have representative statistics and certainly not enough data on the extremes - let's see what record size we might find here.

My largest Palembang/Lampung blade is just short of Peter's example. I have another keris from Sumatra: Without scabbard; blade appears consistent with Palembang but needs more scrutiny; length about 43.6 cm (over 17").

Regards,
Kai

Thanks Kai,

I'll throw a known 45.5 long blade in to the mix.
Straight, high medial ridge and slightly swollen though the belly.
