And this is my own kris, the antique blade was unfortunately broken and shortened while piercing the body of an enemy
![]() It was repaired & treated in Solo, and the scabbard was recently made by copying an old model. Regards |

As the sheath is a perfect fit for the blade, we can consider it to have been made for the Keris and thus original.

As you well know, during the life of a blade, it may undergo various changes of dress. When undergone properly, of course they should always fit ‘perfectly’. By 'original', I mean as at the time it left the ‘original owner’. So I guess what you’re saying is that THAT particular sheath came with the blade when handed over by the then owner, back in 1521. Thank you for your input. Best, |
