No, no!!!

I am not a bank director!

Both, the keris and pedang, are from a museum in Sumbawa.
(I thought, it is clear becouse of completely other picture quality )

Interesting thing with the hilt is, it seems to be a Tunggak Semi, and the warangka looks almost Sumatranese.

Very nice keris Sipakatuo like your first one you posted also, but why is this a Sumbawa keris and not a Bugis keris? Or better from where you know that this keris are from Sumbawa?

Regards,

sajen

I think that this is the question at hand Sajen and what Alan was saying in his earlier post. Are these keris really from Sumbawa or are we just repeating unsubstantiated information supplied by the sellers of these keris? Do any of these examples have any strong provenance that these blades were forged in Sumbawa?
