The reason I ask about Pattanese naga keris is that I have been offered an old (or at least old looking) "Naga Timbul" 13 luk keris which is -- in my opinion -- quite similar in appearance and condition to the straight naga keris shown in the other forum (except for the luk, of course).
Best regards,

Though not an absolute rule, N. Malayan kerises generally stop at 9 waves. So be careful about 13 waved N. Malayan kerises.
