I agree, this is a piece one would've found in a native bazaar. It is most certainly nowhere near anything produced by a royal armory.

I'm not sure what you mean by this, Greg.

Is this a reproduction keris?
This is new work, but not a reproduction; I think you refer to age rather than authenticity.

Here's my Iras blade.
I have a feeling, that due to the size (15") and polish, it may be from Lombok.
