Sumatran keris for discussion

Thanks for the new link,

I have seen a blade with resembling greneng before.
It was an old blade, with newer hilt, but it is not longer in my collection.
The Wrangka also looked similar to yours and I considered it to be from Minangkabau.
The Dauns reminds me of Gayo. Maybe some influence?

Unfortunately I don't have it around and the pictures I have kept aren't as good as yours.
Maybe these could give you an idea?
I don't want to show the complete Keris because it's not mine anymore.
