I picked this up on one of my trips to Malaysia. Please help in identifying it?
Thanks, Dave |

Awsome piece. I would say keris panjang or execution keris from Sumatra. The ukiran is typical for a sumatra keris panjang. But i'm not quite sure about the keris itself. My first thought was a tombak, but could also be a keris cundrik. That's my first opinion. Lets wait what other members will say.

Agree with Henk, look like a panjang or bahari blade with missing gonjo.

I'm not sure of the handle material. How do I find out, short of sending it to an expert?

If it is some kind of horn or stag you will get a destinct smell of burned hair. Further I also see a blade that has been reshaped and is missing the ganja. Fitted with a new scabbard with an undefined wrangka shape. The hilt is classic in shape but of low quality. I think that there is not much to discuss on this piece. ![]() |

Ukiran, wrangka and the tip of the scabbard are horn.
