Hi All
Picked this up at the show this weekend. Seems to be an older keris? The creature reminded me of a cartoon character from my childhood ![]() Lew Last edited by LOUIEBLADES; 19th March 2007 at 03:47 PM. |

Surely it seems an old malay (?) keris. Nice the sarong.

Nice score Lew. Yoou should glad i didn't show this past weekend or i may have been vieing for that keris as well.
![]() I know we have seen that sheath form before, either from Kai Wee or Shahrial i think. Maybe they will have something to say. I think this may be a Sumatran form. ![]() |

![]() Hmmm... this one is a little tricky. The blade looks Sumatran. The selut, Palembang styled. The hilt form, ... unusual ![]() ![]() |

Beany and Cecil from the 60s. Don't need to do the hot needle test I can see the cross hatch pattern in the ivory in spots. Lew |
