I do not know with any certainty, but overall, it does not feel Javanese.

A very nice spear Sajen. I also have never seen a brass bladed Indonesian spear. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you Albert! That's the beauty of collecting and exploring, even after years you always see something you've never seen before!

I see some similarity in the blade of this keris.

I also remember from reading the Buru Quartet that an assassination was planned using a non-ferrous bladed weapon.

Thank you Alan, I am with you. I strongly suspect a Sumatran origin.
