Keris for comments
Comments will be appreciated on this please.
It appears that the more I read about Keris the less I know so am hoping for some helpful comments. I bought this in a local antique shop about 20 years ago. O/all length is 19 1/2" Blade length is 13" and is very thin. Hilt of horn. Scabbard silver over wood with the "heel" appearing to be suassa. Cup looks to be very low grade nickel silver and also looks to be too large. It took a lot of effort to get the hilt off so appears to have been together for a long time. Regards Roy |

 But i refered to my native tongue. When we speak here in Holland about Keris Panjang we don't talk about the size of a keris. For many Dutch keris panjang is equal to excecutioners keris.
