A giant Pattani keris sari bulan

Bluerf, another beauty you've got there.. the perkaka hilt is mouth-watering, with a fitting 'gelug' pendokok.. the pattani-styled sari bulan is also having the trademark of a master craftsman from Kelantan..

Although we might have the similar look alike marble stone, maybe this will help on the definition of blade, though a bit worn out due to age.
Overall length is about 21.5 inch
Blade length is 14.7 inch. All parts are old but the hilt is recent replacement (existing is in kerdas form - not that old). For your view.
Similar tukang perhaps maybe.

Ah, this keris is familiar...

The hilt is made from gigi? It's unusual for the maker of my hilt to acquire gigi material, I thought.

But it is a really nice hilt.

It's an old ivory

Ah, I thought so.

when you mentioned "similar tukang", I thought you had commissioned the carver whom I knew to carve this. But also noticed that the ivory had a bit of a warm honey patina already, so shouldn't be recent.

Well, it's not the hilt. But i suspect the sheath is from the same tukang.

Oh, I think it is not. Your sheath is probably older work. Also, he does not finish his keris sheaths like that , and the buntut is not his style too.
