Kris panjang on Ebay

Jean · 23rd September 2013, 08:25 PM

Dear friends,
This kris panjang was just sold on Ebay and I would like to get your opinion about it. The hilt is in Jawa demam style from Northern Java and the selut in South Sumatra style. My question relates to the wavy blade which is very unusual for this type of kris: it seems to me that the waves were made later and are uneven, and the blade seems to have been shortened (15 inches long only and the tip is not symmetrical). Your opinions will be welcome.
Best regards
