Ganja Iras did not tell us yet from where or whom did he got these pieces, this would be an interesting information for us I think. I have 2 similar pieces bought in Lombok which I already showed in this forum.

hallo Jean ,

I really want to give you more info about the kerisses ,but my english not so good .
I obtain all of them from keris seller in sumbawa island ,and he told me that he found it in bima .
All off the blade and warangka / sheaths are old ,and the silver pendhok toli toli pendhokok (mendhak ) are newly made in lombok : somewhere arround mataram .
I hope you'll satisfied with my little info.
Thanks and regards ,

Hello Ganja Iras,
Thank you very much for the useful information and it confirms my impression that this type of Bugis kris originates from Sumbawa and they are refurbished and embellished in Lombok.
And your English is good enough to be perfectly understood, don't be shy!
Best regards
