Is this a Javanese keris blade?

For comparison, a Malay naga keris from Paul's collection. The luk is of a different style, but look at the 'c' underneath the naga's head.

Nice Scabbard, BluErf.
I think you are very lucky to got keris like yours, because for now, it is too rare dapur.

The Paul's Keris is Malay. The top of blade similiar like a Malay or Sumatran keris. Nice Naga Siluman for collected.

About the 'C' underneath the naga's head, it could be a broken beard of Naga, so that it be came a "C"

. Perhaps it was "O", or indeed like "C"

I posted some photos of broken beard of Naga for comparison about the "C" at underneath the Naga's and photos of intact beard

So, the "C" is unique characteristic of your kerises

.

Regards,
Mans.

Hi guys,

I just found another keris with a "C". This is a javaneese keris however. Panji pengantin with a lot of luks. Its supposed to be 5 luks only.

Rasdan, the similarities are close. I take it back...about my earlier comment.

You guys should post pictures like these to accompany your comments, so that we can have a better opinion. The Panji Pengantin form that i saw is way different than the one you posted. (Nice pic by the way.)

BlueErf, nice silverworks. May I ask how you got it commissioned?
Learning things along the way. Thanks guys.

Ohhh... looks like a cousin! Ok, that definitely tips the scale.

Thanks for digging up the pics, Rasdan.

Alam Shah -- Adni can help you with silver works.

Here is a Balinese or Lombok Keris with a "C" too. Does anyone know what it is?

BSMStar, "C" at your keris is Jenggot (Jawa) is mean "beard".
one of many Ricikan (Characteristic) Kerises.
