Two peninsula keris patrem??
I have bought recently two small obviously Peninsula keris. The blades are rather simple but both seems to have some age. One have a very good carved horn handle and a good worked silver pendoko. The one with wooden hilt have a iras blade with 5 luk and the other one a 7 luk blade. The one with horn hilt and warangka are 27 cm (10,6 inch) overall and the one with wooden hilt are 25 cm (9,8 inch). Who can give me more informations about this two? Are this really keris patrem or early tourist keris?
Thank's in advance, Detlef |

IMO (from pics) the two keris are not tourist keris. I don't know if they are patrem but they seem not made for turist market.

These small kerises are common in the Peninsula. They are called keris selit, and are specially as dress kerises, for formal events. I think I mentioned this in another thread recently.

Hello Kai Wee, thank you very much. Maybe I haven't seen the other thread, otherwise I don't ask. So I understand now why the blades are so simple. Do you have a presumption how old they might be? Regards, Detlef |
