First Post - Identification Assistance Much Appreciated
Hi,
Really happy to be part of this group. I haven't the slightest clue about krises and the family collection has been handed down to me. Appreciate all the wisdom, knowledge, comments etc. Thanks. Omar |

Welcome to the forum Omar,
Looks like a keris picit or pejetan to my eyes. Scabbard is a recent replacement like the handle also. Blade seems to be old but pictures can deceive. Regards, Detlef |

It might be a Sombro.
try removing the hilt, it is likely to be only a pressure fit, the tang wound with thread or cloth, if it is tight & difficult to remove, leave it . But if you can remove the hilt, & the end of the tang has an eye-hole in it, either broken or unbroken, then we can call it a Sombro. |

Hi Alan,
Beside the eye hole in the end of the tang what are the other characteristics for Sombro style Keris? Ganja iras or not? Thank you |

All Sombro I've seen had a ganja iras.
Here my example. |

Thank you very much. I hv had to look up for most of the terms used in the replies to even understand things.
I hv attached a few more pics of the blade. As for removing the hilt, am worried that I can't put it together again.: Cheers. |
