Introduction and Assistance request - Naga Sasra 11 Luk?

[JayHasAKeris]

Hello dear Vikingsword community and especially hello dear Keris enthusiasts,

thanks for having me in your community As this is my first post, a few brief words about me. I like collecting beautiful knives and swords. Not necessarily for their historic value, but because I think they are pretty. Think Manfred Sache, german damascus steel smith, for example.

Around 30ish years ago, I bought a Keris at a knife fare. I just thought it looked pretty, it was a nice wavy dagger that seemed pretty old and it was an example of south east asian steel that looked a bit like the damascus steel I so adore. The Keris has been in my possession ever since, but I never really bothered much with it. However, I have recently decided to research its history a bit... and have discovered that this is an incredibly complicated topic :O In my search for a community passionate about this subject, I have stumbled across your community. I thank you in advance for the chance to present this Keris to you and I hope you can help me gather some information about it. My preliminary research has taught me that this might be called an 11 Luk Naga Sasra Keris? However, please note that I am incredibly new to this field of research. I am sure, some trained eyes can immediately see a lot of things that would take me years to find out. So: thank you for lending me your trained eyes

Any information will be appreciated If more pictures might be helpful, let me know!

Thanks in advance

Jay
