The blade fits very tightly in to the sheath (almost too tight).
The length of the blade is 350mm so just under 14 inches.
I can take some more photographs in a few days and post them here.
After I purchased this keris I removed the stain not knowing how the blade should look. The steel it's made from is very eye catching. It has a very attractive silvery glow and I think it looks better this way. I don't mean to offend anyone , I know the keris is a very spiritual object and has a great history in many cultures, so please excuse me if I did.
Thanks for all the replies
