Is this a Javanese keris blade?

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.

Your 'c' is not alone. If the 'c' has its origins in the middle-east, wouldn't be too surprising since many Arab traders travelled here to do business. These 3 are all N. Malay blades.
