Here is the link to the thread BluErf posted back in 2005. Links are always helpful.

Now that i have actually seen this keris i do not think that it's origins are Jawa.

Hi David

The pictures above are posted by Gustav, not by me. Gustav`s keris is absolutely different from mine -- mine has 13 luk and is all over Javanese in appearance, including its dress.

Gustav, your keris is very nice; I like it!

Regards,

Heinz

Sorry, my bad, i look quickly, saw it was from a poster whose name began with "G" and made the wrong assumption.
I would still like to see yours someday Heinz if you ever get the technology to post it.
Interesting blade Gustav. Where do you think it is from?

Greybeard · 17th September 2009, 07:28 AM

No need to be sorry, David.

I can well understand that you would like to see pictures of my Naga keris, and I would like to show it as well. But I`m sure that I`ll be able to post pictures in the near future.

Best regards,

Heinz

Alam Shah, Greybeard and David, thank you for the comments

David, I have really no experience with this. I thought, it would be a peninsular keris.

Hi Gustav, it is indeed a very nice keris naga bugis, you got there. It has all the features of naga that is almost similiar to mine with the distinctive 3 "clove of leaves" on top the naga head. Congrats

Are the blades tempered (sepuhan)? for such Bugis type blades with no pamor, the temper mark shd be fairly obvious.

Gustav · 17th September 2009, 04:03 PM

Hello Jentayu, thank you, also for posting your very nice and interesting keris for comparison. May I ask what is the estimation of age for your keris?

About "leaves" on the head of Naga - if there are no meanings - they could be also feathers.

BluErf · 17th September 2009, 04:12 PM

Btw, from the dress and hilt, these do not look like peninsula kerises.

BluErf · 17th September 2009, 04:14 PM

Likely to be Sulawesi, judging from the bulge in Gustav's keris sheath, and hilt.

Sumatra was going to be my guess on Gustav's keris based on the style of the greneng, but i wouldn't place a bet on that.

As i know many of us are already aware, dress does not necessarily reveal the origin of the blade itself.

Hello Blu Erf,

could such greneng be expected from Sulawesi?
