Help IDing Unknown Knife Please

I am posting these for a friend who just acquired this. It is well out of my collecting zone. Not sure if it belongs here or in Euro. Any ideas? Thanks!

I don't think Rob was thinking that wedhung were used as weapons. In comment #2 he clearly states that wedhung were unsuitable to be weapons and pointed out that the false edge on on Sid's pointed to...

Well, "no doubt"? I couldn't say. Because those photos do not show us what it looks like from the top of the wrongko. Usually these hilts are not fixed in place so the hilt could have quite easily...

Nice knife Sid. While i know nothing about it i have to agree that it is not a wedhung. I don't believe it is a Javanese blade either. I tend to agree with the theory of a Sumatran origin.

I'm not sure what you are trying to say here. The hilt on the keris in the photo simply needs to be rotated 180 degrees. Problem solved.

Sorry Marco, but i must point out that your keris is not like this. The keris in the image above is indeed properly oriented in the sheath. It is only the hilt that is oriented in reverse. ;)

Yes Jean, while i do agree that the motif presented in Gavin's pendok bears resemblance to a particular Yogya pattern, the over all form of this pendok seems to be Surakarta.

I noted that your Indonesian knife has been noted as currently up for auction. Since the background and photography look the same on this keris i assume it is also part of the same auction. Is this...

Well, it certainly has some age, though as you are probably aware, exact dating of keris is not really possible without confirmed provenance. Your blade could be as old as 19th century though. Dhapur...
