Hello,

first: welcome to the forum!

I think it's a Pattani carita blade. Others with much more knowlegde than I am will jump in and will give you a a more accurate opinion.

Look here for example for a very similar bilah: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...ghlight=carita

Can we see the complete keris?

Regards,

Detlef

Thank you as well! And please don't call me "sir"! When you address me with Detlef or my member name "sajen" it would be very appreciated.

Can you show as well a picture when the bilah is sheathed?

Regards,

I think this is a rare find. It's far easier to see pandai saras, carita and tok chu blades but something with this kind of central fuller rarely surfaces among collectors. As someone used to say to me "molek!"
