Patrem keris for comment

Thanks Dave.

I just think there is some material coming up through the hilt and there is no metal there at all. Will post better pics when it arrives.

Here are some better pics of this small gem. It is going to need a nice pendokok to top it off.

The pendokok still looks a wee bit too large, but i would imagine that it would be really hard to get a good fit with such a small keris unless you had one custom made.
All in all it looks like a nice little patrem. I am still assuming it is a peninsula patrem and it's the first i've seen from that area. Anyone else have one from there to show?

Yes, it looks very much Peninsula (northern) or Pattani patrem. Blade looks like pandai saras type, not sure about the pamor though.....

I don't think it has a pamor which would not be unusal for that area.

Lew, sorry to see a gap for the pendokok...

Based on the carving style and blade material, the ensemble could probably be a souvenir piece from the northern peninsular, no pamor. Blade probably formed from a single piece of metal, without hardening. Lovely greneng and sheath, though.
