Hi Michael,
This is an excellent topic for a thread!!!
Unbelievable though that there are no responses from the Keris Kadre' out there to say more on this unusual marking!!

C'mon keris guys, I'd like to know more on this, and hopefully some more markings for discussion.
The subject of talismanic markings on ethnographic blades is pretty vast, so I know there should be lots of entries.
Best regards,
Jim
