Keris for identification

[kai]

Hello Sid,

I will try and take more pics but as I say the scabbard is a perfect fit in all respects.

I trust you on the fit. However, I'm looking for some design features to possibly narrow down the likely origin.

Regards,
Kai

Two somewhat similar blades for reference.

Jean, am I right to think the profile of your blades are Bugis influenced, if not their cross section? The cross section being roughly a diamond (please excuse the unintentional pun) like the original post's keris.

Am I alone in thinking that Sid's original keris in this post looks much more weapon-like than many keris?

Yes, my blades are more refined than SidJ's one (work from a village smith?) but they bear some similarities IMO.
