Peninsula blade or not?

Maybe Madura or maybe Sumatra, just look the material, the material not bugis material, but the same materials with madura/javanese keris

Hello Kerisbiz,

nobody speak here about Bugis, sarung and hulu with pendokok clearly Peninsula, the question was from where the blade could come.

My thoughts as well. Malay does not necessarily equal Bugis and no one ever suggested this was a Bugis blade. The possibilities of Madura or Sumatra had already been raised more than once. Nothing new here...

Yes, agree with David and I can't see by the "materials" any Javanese or Madura connection, sorry.

Well, not from these photographs and in that rusted condition, though i do understand that blade materials can often point to various origins when they can be observed well and proper.
