I dont have a scale handy while taking the pictures; but the blade has approximately 60 cm in length from tip of the blade to the pesi end. (two pieces of A4 photocopy paper combine together in length)
Any idea how old is this? Pamor type?
Any comments positive or negative will be appreciated

So beatifully....
look at from the iron, it's the same as Majapahit era.

How about my LIGAN keris?
Blade size 47,5 cm, overall 67 cm. That's quite a large one.
Kocet-kocetan might not belong to it (as it is from Lombok?) but the selut is from gold / suasa so a valuable part of the handle.

That's stunning, Paul.

I learned a lot in this thread. Had I not known any better I would have thought I was looking at some kind of keris dhapur sepang.

Modern era Bali made keris Ligan.

Correct?

Here my honest example, 76 cm inside scabbard, 71 cm without, blade without pesi 57 cm. Last picture show it together with a huge Moro kris for size comparison.
