A lovely maduran keris to start with. Congrats on this find. I would leave the dress as it is. If possible the blade could be etched in the traditional way with warangan.

Hi klewang,

Nice thought. The leather scabbard has something from the KNIL klewang. It could be something experimental. But the length of it is 8 inches. A bit too small to experiment with it. Or...

I'm afraid the picture of the arab writing is not sharp enough for a translation.

You should show the complete sword as well as a reward for the translator. :)

Looks arabic to me. You better post pictures of the complete sword. Maybe one of the forumites will translate it for you. But the reward for a translation is pictures of the complete sword :D

Jan,

You should be enlighted by the presence of so much knowledge on this forum.
Your reaction is most offending and not necessary at all.

This piece discussed some time ago as a javanese machete has the same hilt attachment as the machete of Fernando.

Looks like an aruval. Is it after all an Indian or nepalese piece?

The scabbard is Moroccan from a Koumya. The knife looks India or Persia to me. You're right, they don't belong together.
