I recently acquired this interesting old kris attributed to Sumatra (sorry for the pic quality, I will shoot better ones later) and I would like to get your opinions about its origin. The buntut at the bottom of the gandar seems missing.
I purposely did not show the blade, not because it is an outstanding masterpiece but in order not to influence your assessment; the blade fits perfectly into the scabbard and it seems to be an old combination.

Hello Jean,

I would guess that it's a Minangkabau keris! :) Nice piece, are you going to show us the blade later?

Detlef

Hello Detlef,
Thank you and this is what I am guessing too, I attach a pic of the blade (in typical bahari style).

Hello Jean,

I've thought already to see a bahari blade. ;)

Best regards,
Detlef

a very attractive blade!
I'm far from an expert, but i thought this kind of blade is more suited to the dress with saribulan sampir(crosspiece)?

Correct Nik but this type of blade is also commonly found with Minang krisses (besides the short blades with 3 luk), see some specimens in my book for instance.
Regards :)

Seems like the nose is adapted / reshaped but pics lack to be sure. Would be intersting to see more of it in detail.
Can / will you pull it off and add a proper selut?

Hi Paul,
The hilt is stuck and I did not attempt to free it yet (a delicate operation as it is cracked). Yes, I will try to fit a proper pendokok, and the nose was either slightly reshaped or worn, it it is a very old piece.
