maduran hilted keris with uncertain type of blade

Green · 22nd June 2016, 09:06 AM

i bought this one because i like the hilt. but im completely ignorant about the type or merit of the blade? can anyone let me know what type/dhapur this is? the 'belalai gajah was broken and i get the local silversmith to add a silver one... much bigger than the original and somewhat an inappropriate shape to purists, but i can live with it.

Probably the scabbard was not original to the blade but it fits reasonably well.
