Hello Gene,
Congrats, that's really a very sweet blade!

I thought that originally, but the shape although ragged through etching seems uniform and deliberate.
Only two barbs and they are symetrical.

Yes, I also believe these are original - just a little corroded.
I am fairly sure I saw such a barb-like feature in keris Jawa but haven't been able to hit my notes/books yet. Alan, any suggestions?
Regards,
Kai
