Antique Minangkabau Keris for Comments

Hi there,

Never the less the outcome of the origin and so on, nice blade. I agree with the others, that it is unlikely Minangkabau. And even not sure that the blade originated from Sumatra, but also not sure enough to provide good facts that it does not. Could you see if the grip is loose? And could you post a photo of the blade with tip up without the hulu, and one good close up of the peksi? This could give us some information. I am wondering if there are marks of the peksi been shortened, broken or intended the length it is.

Regards Michel
