Dear all,
i was looking in some czerny's catalog and a keris got my eyes. I wanted to know your opinion about it (it is already sold). Look like a keris ligan, concerning age, it's dated 19th. The garap looks nice, and the blade well forged. What could be the greenish aspect of the blade ? Thanks in advance for your toughts, Julien |

IMO a nice Lombok (or Balinese) keris and the colour of the blade is because is dirty and rusty. About the age I am not able to say .... but the whole does not seem recent to me.

Hello Julien,

Apparently the origin of this keris is from a dealer in Singapore who sold it overseas. Nice keris. So who is the type of user for this kind of design back in old days? Priest? Warriors? Maybe.

![]() As for the fittings being younger than the blade, i would say that is probably a given with most of the antique keris we own. ![]() |
