Interesting,

Here is an anak alang with the ship made of rhino horn and
the simle hilt repaired.

Very unsual hilt-repair, never seen something like this before.

I've seen repairs like this done in the peninsula. Yes, I have always found such repairs to result in unusual looks.

I have not been following this thread, but I've just scanned through it and noticed my name.

Kai, I do not know anything much about this subject, and I do not like to speculate, or really, even to comment unless I can back up what I say, so I have said nothing about the keris form being discussed here.

Yes, I do have quite a few of these keris, they are not all straight, several are waved, they are not all without pamor, the blade styles vary from what is shown here through to distinctly Bugis and Javanese blades. One I have is the state execution keris of Brunei dating from 1842, and it is like a very slim Moro keris. Scabbard styles vary from the typical Peninsula ones shown here to Bugis, Jawa, and unidentified.

I am inclined to think that this long blade style was probably pretty widely spread throughout S.E. Asia.

Dear All,
I try to match this old sumatran 'pendokok' to a jawa demam hilt recently. Are they a good match, or not, if I put this composition to a Riau keris like this? I know there are some sumatran experts around here. Would be grateful to hear your comment...

Thanks a lot Karset,
Good example to notice. Although not clear enough, the hilt doesn't seem to be a tapak kuda type ...
