a very attractive blade!
I'm far from an expert, but i thought this kind of blade is more suited to the dress with saribulan sampir(crosspiece)?

Correct Nik but this type of blade is also commonly found with Minang krisses (besides the short blades with 3 luk), see some specimens in my book for instance.

Seems like the nose is adapted / reshaped but pics lack to be sure. Would be intersting to see more of it in detail.
Can / will you pull it off and add a proper selut?

Hi Paul,
The hilt is stuck and I did not attempt to free it yet (a delicate operation as it is cracked). Yes, I will try to fit a proper pendokok, and the nose was either slightly reshaped or worn, it it is a very old piece.
