Sorry guys, the title is just a gimmick

. All photos taken through my hand phone camera so pls expect some blurred pictures. How I wish, I could have brought a proper camera but not allowed for the second time. This keris belonged to a very reputable Bugis family, newly dresssed (1960s) in Malay style. This keris has some interesting history to it. To my surprise, I was shiverred to see the blade. Could it be a Javanese blade, A Semenanjung blade, Sumatran Blade or a Bugis blade? I would give age to about 1600s, non laminated blade with two mosters namely a Dragon and another motif down under it, which I could not identify.
It has deep fullers to the tip at both sides, just like an ordinary Malela blade. Any comment?
