Hello Chregu, I wouldn't go far due to my limited knowledge on Sumatran keris. But I'm in the impression that the blade would link more to 'classical' Javanese-including Madura blade in how it is presented. I like this kind of Pamor and if memory serve well I thought I have seen it on Palembang blade. If you find the indication that the blade fit well into the sheath, I would buy the idea about trade blade. As for the hilt, it look a little 'oversize' compare to the sheath on how I see it. And goes to the hilt material, I thought this can't be very old because I learn that this material is later invention so to speak, you know kind of alternative when ivory are getting harder to obtain. I believe other members with more knowledge will share their views. Thanks.
