Hi all,

This one is presented to me. I don't know much about this type of keris.
It's a small one, about 20 - 25 cm

Please more information. I have no idea how old it is

Patje, it looks like an authentic old form. But it is really difficult to date these because the form doesn't change much over time. I would think this fellow has some age to him though and he also has character IMHO. I like him.

I agree with David, the piece looks authentic but may not be very old (but still probably 100 years) as it shows a distinct pamor pattern. The older pieces usually show a pamor sanak (indistinct).
Regards
