Dear All,

nothing very refined, nevertheless a nice blade (55,5 cm) of its kind, particularly the subtle tapering to the tip.
About 40% of outer binding on handle is gone. The quite fine inner binding isn't a repair, it goes under the outer and can be seen at some places.
An interesting feature is the inserted Jalen/Tjalen (that's how it's called in Keris terminology, sorry).
The pommel is not small.

Comments are welcome!
