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. :shrug:

I am not sure whether this so called Sumbawa keris is and old piece, or artificially aged new keris.
