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?

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?

Dear All,

were it possible for somebody, who speaks Bahasa, to translate this to English (if it has some worth at all): http://www.sumbawanews.com/sumbawa/s...s-sumbawa.html

Were it possible for somebody, who knows about the history and culture of Sumbawa to write down a brief (or longer) summary for others?

I think, it were absolutely necessary, in other case we are really in a dead end with this subject.
