No problem Athanese, I'm only talking about the keris itself, that is, the wilah, or blade. I have only passing interest in the dress, that could come from anywhere, and should not influence classification of the blade.
I understand "Banten" as title for the thread, that seems to be what was agreed previously, but I use different parameters to most people and I do have the advantage of having handled these Dresden keris and photographed them, which means I have notes and perhaps a dozen or more photos of each keris. |

Hello Athanase,
Do you know the history or provenance of the kris and what is the blade length excluding the pesi? Regards |

I have no information on it and the seller is a dealer specialized in militaria (he also had 2 spear points possibly Thai and a Vietnamese Dao, the rest being European militaria).
(Fortunately, it was not an auction and I was one of the first to see the announcement! ) The length of the blade is 37cm. |

The hilt is solidly fixed, and as it's split at the base, I didn't dare to force it to remove it for fear of breaking it.
