Sumatran Palembang / Minang ?

Well done Sajen ! Your expert eyes could not avoid the missing part on the wrongko -> Photo attached show exactly where the missing part was glued .
Jean , I still think the pamor gives more an origin more from Minang than Palembang .... but never know !

The Sumatrese krisses are often mixed pieces so it is a difficult subject.
For me the best reference book about Sumatrese krisses is the Krisdisc from the late Karsten Jensen and if you check it, you will find that the Minang blades usually have no pamor and are either of the straight bahari type, or short ones with 3 waves. Of course there could be exceptions but your blade has no Minang character IMO.

Hello Henri,

I am far away to be an expert! But have seen and handled some keris to know that there is something missing.

Best regards,
