Let me know your opinions...

At 28 cm that is just over 11 inches which seems a bit long for a patrem...but maybe it was made for a big women.

Oppsss...

after re-measuring, it's only 27cm, the the ganja to the tip. (28cm was the measurement given from previous owner).

David, not necessarily 'big', but perhaps taller?

I do agree that it's slightly longer than the normal patrem.

Keris of different sizes within the Malay family.
