My blade and the two examples comes from dealers in Lombok. The two examples probably would fit in your description of Tangguh Kupang. Mine has a similar (sand like) iron quality, and is well heat treated. The measurements are:

The length of the blade: 36,8 cm (14,5 inches)
The width of the gonjo: 8,2 cm (3,23 inches)

I supposed, the little bit elaborated ricikan details of keris of mine and the striking ricikan details of the keris of Blu Erf and Sipakatuo would be a Lombok influence. But in the book of Lalu Djelenga I found a picture of two similar keris, on page 203 with a note "Banyak keluar dari wilayah Bayan". I suppose it means, the blades are coming from Bayan willage in Lombok.
I would like to know, is there a Lombok influence in Sumbawa?
Some other pictures of my Keris Luk 15, and of a royal Keris from Sumbawa. It seems, Sumbawa has influences from everywhere. I will post also some pictures of a pedang from Sumbawa, shaped like a katana.

I love the hit

From where it comes? Lombok or Kalimantan?
Are white stones yakut? What are red stones?

Is this royal keris yours? It remembers me to a Banjarmasin keris.

No, no!!!

I am not a bank director!

Both, the keris and pedang, are from a museum in Sumbawa.
(I thought, it is clear becouse of completely other picture quality

)

Interesting thing with the hilt is, it seems to be a Tunggak Semi, and the warangka looks almost Sumatranese.
