So we are already two!

It was cheap and it seems not particularly old. But it seems to be a pamor blade. I am curious to hold it in my hands!

I don’t know what to think, but AFAIK keris sajen are not part of Bugis culture.

My understanding also David.

My understanding as well!

But was is it??

I received it, like I thought it's laminated.

A rather recent jimat? I don't think it's for those who travel.

Laminated, yes, but it could have been made from an old tombak, or a pedang, or maybe even a keris.

Possible, who knows? By time it will receive a warangan, maybe it will shed some light on it.
