The luk style is what seems to be more Pattani to me.

Is hilt assignation as from Pattani becouse of the elongated body?

Hi Gustav,

I don't know why I didn't see this post of yours. As to the use of the features to give an estimate of age, I must admit that I can't do it. Very often, I do it based on look and feel, and I know it is highly inaccurate given that a well-cared old blade can look 'newer' than a poorly-maintained new blade.

Pattani luks are 'awkward', not sweet and sensuous like Terengganu kerises with luks.

The hilt's longer head, angle of the head, and the relatively larger buah pinang base suggests Pattani origin.
