I think that this is the question at hand Sajen and what Alan was saying in his earlier post. Are these keris really from Sumbawa or are we just repeating unsubstantiated information supplied by the sellers of these keris? Do any of these examples have any strong provenance that these blades were forged in Sumbawa?
