Keris Palembang? for comment.

Hello,

I would like the opinion of the forum experts for this Keris.

The handle has an unusual style for me (but I know very little about the Palembang Keris).

The blade is old but I can not estimate the age of the handle, copper alloy with low grade silver and with a red gem (glass ?, garnet ?, ruby?).

The scabbard dates from the end of the XX century.
