IMO (from pics) the two keris are not tourist keris. I don't know if they are patrem but they seem not made for turist market.

These small kerises are common in the Peninsula. They are called keris selit, and are specially as dress kerises, for formal events. I think I mentioned this in another thread recently.

Hello Kai Wee,

thank you very much. Maybe I haven't seen the other thread, otherwise I don't ask.

So I understand now why the blades are so simple. Do you have a presumption how old they might be?

Regards,

Detlef

It might just be the photo, but it appears to me that the gonjo on the second keris might be a replacement. In the photo at least it looks like a newer piece in a different quality of iron. If this is the case it would seem much less likely to be a tourist item.

Good observation David. It is indeed a different quality of iron but I am not sure if it is a replacemt since it seems worked for this blade. In my mind by this case are many Bali blades where the gonjo is worked from a different quality of iron so I am not sure if it is a replacement.

Hi Marco,

thank you. This have been my guess also but don't have been sure.
