Keris ID

I'd much appreciate any insight into this keris; old Makassar/Ladrang type sampir, which is very narrow; I'm thinking Sumatran, possibly Mingangkabau. It didn't come with a hilt cup, so I added this one. I have not touched the blade. Many thanks

I would be grateful if anyone has views on the origin of this keris they are willing to share

Adam, this type of keris is not my area of speciality, you need somebody with knowledge in this specific field.

However, it might help if you could clarify whether you mean the entire, dressed keris, or only the blade of the keris, what we might call the "wilah".
