Hi
A Bali kris for consideration I can't see a ganja on this. Is it a ivillager quality recent one?

Not recent, not uncommon.

Usually attributed to Lombok, might be so, might not, I do not know for certain.

Hi Sid,

Agree with Alan, not recent but antique.

Regards,

Yes, i agree with the gentlemen, this is not a recent keris, and it is indeed gonjo iras. Gonjo iras does not always incise a line to delineate separation.

Thanks for your thoughts. I will put some better images up when I am able to.
