Others with more knowledge than me will doubtless chime in, but to my eye it looks like a Straits piece. More info here:

Hello,
Just my personal impression but I could be wrong: . The blade and sheath are not originally matching (the blades sinks in the slot on the front side) . The blade does not look Sumatrese . The Bugis hilt and sheath could be from Sumatra Riau islands Regards |

Hi Willem,
very bad piece but I will be neat and you can send it to me that you don't need to look to it again!    But seriously a very nice keris and Laowang could be correct, look also this thread: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...4&page=2&pp=30 I don't feel prepared to say if this keris have the original sarung like you think or it is a composite ensemble but I think that you have hold enough keris in your hand to decide this. Regards, Detlef |
