Well, that was the question i was going to ask you...
Have we ever agreed what, if any, specific factors or features determine a Sumbawa keris? Is there any style specific to this island?
Certainly point of collection is no assurance the Sumbawa is the origin of this keris blade.

Hi David, I'm not to sure for this blade was Sumbawa's blade, that's the reason for me to wrote it here.

I post this to Multiply site Last week but still haven't got the answer yet. And i'll let the expert inform for the origin prior to Find exactly sheath to it
