David;
I'd like to think of myself as a 'collector'... a v poor one at best but whatever i buy it stays with me, so i guess i'm in the 'collector' basket. my chief aim for this keris is to find the appropriate scabbard for i hate keris lying 'naked' and incomplete.
Gustav,
I can't imagine a saribulan cross piece would look fitting to this blade and hilt. . Lampung style sheath looks v much like peninsula malay type and may be quite suitable alternative to palembang. I'll ask the opinion of the sheath maker anyway.
I have seen quite a few kerises with all sorts of "wrong" combination everywhere... donoriko madurese hilt in wrong wronko, tajung hilted keris in saribulan sheath etc....
