Keris Sundang??

Hi,

The problem is there is not original scabbard of hilt. We have to judge on the blade purely. But i think its too large for a keris. On the other hand, if it is for slashing, why round tang?

The perabot features are all wrong for a Moro kris, as well as the dapur. Not to mention the blade pamor/texture. Despite the size, not Moro. A keris from where, well I am not a keris guy, but I know for sure this isnt Moro.

Hi Rasdan

It is most definately not Moro. The tangs on Moro kris are rectangular in shape and not round. I would agree with Henk that it is from Madura or Java.
