Detlef, i believe i am more inclined to agree with Gustav that your sheath is probably more likely post WWII. The blade, of course, is older than that. I would also have pegged the example you show from publication above to also be post WWII. I don't believe that make it illegitimate as a Balinese style, but it seems more recent to me. |

I was well aware of why you showed your keris and am grateful to you for it. ![]() The gandik area is actually almost the same, the difference is the number of luk. However, I think that the keris I have shown has a significantly older sheath than the one in the IFICA publication, especially if it's actually ivory. I am not the new owner of this keris. I just wanted to show it. Regards, Detlef |
