Interesting layering of metal & condensed pamor.

Hello,

welcome to the forum! Look's like a nice keris. I like this specific form of the hilt. Is the buntut of the sheat from a old coin? When I am you I would change the Pendoko.

thanks for the welcome, the buntut of the sheath is actually from water buffalo horn.

Welcome Khalifah Muda (Fyan) to the forum. I recognised the keris, hence the identity of its owner.

Very robust Sulawesi Bugis keris.

The kind that would boost one's confidence.

just a gentle advice - don't cover the keris blade and sheath/hilt in oil. Too much is bad the sheath and hilt, and ultimately the keris, when gunk builds up and decomposition takes place.

A little spread out evenly but regularly goes a long way.
