However, from my own understanding, the keris dress is not necessarily attributed to the place of origin, but rather where the keris was last found (where and who was the last owner). This however only applies to Nusantara area.

Hope this clarifies, but feel free to ask if my words are hard to understand

Hi Penangsang,

don't worry, I don't feel attacked. But I am with David that I will try to dress the blade in Lombok style.

Regards,
