Tom, thank you for the pictures.

I might consider the possibility the Bugis style Gonjo is an old replacement. The blade itself looks East Javanese to me, with Pamor Ujung Gunung or Jungjung...

The Blade except Gonjo looks like East Java? Tlamaan seems to be absolutely straight - but we need better pictures.

The 3 Luk Keris combines characteristics from Perak and Kelantan. As they are neighboring states that shouldn't be an anomaly.

The 9 Luk Keris blade is tricky. Dress - sheath is distinctly South...

Finally had chance to see it on bigger screen. These are horizontal layers, so no Pucuk Rebung here.

Thank you, Detlef!

I guess, krisses with silver inlays could have been stained even more often.

Ian, what you describe would be Pamor Rekan - "engineered" Pamor, versus Pamor Tiban.

In short - Pamor Adeg is not very rare on Moro Kris, I have seen some examples here on forum. From Pamor Adeg...

While this Pamor could be very rare or unique for...

Looks like an older sheath and Mendak have been reused to hold a post-1980ties blade and hilt.
(This is about the original Keris of this thread).

Yes. And the Pendok looks like Sumatran work, actually quite typical. Sampir is a Riau form. Terennganu form is very similar, but a bit different.

Making Gonjo Iras generally involves less time and is comparatively an easier task, except the very rare cases where Sogokan/Kruwingan are carved, in good quality.

Yes, many Gonjo Iras Keris from Lombok.
Detlef, the blade in your Straits Bugis sheath likely also comes from South Sumatra. Hilt looks like Sulawesi Bugis.

Interesting to note, the elephant trunk also is a separate peace, like most probably the one in #21.
