The kerises have returned from Kelantan after some restorations. For a peek, click:

I stand corrected, (mixed up in my earlier post).

Bugis Sulawesi (left) and Straits Bugis (right).

Congratulations! on these pieces. These are fine blades.

The restoration works on the Straits piece is much better than on the Sulawesi sheath. Both look better than before. My personal preference would be a non-lacquered finish.
