Keris Sundang Melayu with twist core

I have in my keeping the keris that was the State Execution Keris of Brunei, it was made and commissioned in 1842. The blade is exactly the same style.

Hello Alan,

I have read your earlier posts about this kris and I must admit I am very curious to see it.
Maybe you could share pictures of it with us at the forum (as it is not a Javanese keris)?
What are the measurements of your kris?

I would suspect my kris to be a bit older than the mid 1800s.

Blade length 19", overall length 23.25".

Michael can you please tell me your reasons for believing this keris of yours to be older than mid-19th century?
