I don't mean to be contrary Isumairuchiru, but this dress is fairly common. I see examples of these for sale on eBay on a fairly regular basis.

Hello,
There is one kris very similar to yours but fitted with a proper "Bima" hilt for sale on a Dutch site.
Best regards

Hi Jean thanks for the info, but like David said there are few similar design. This wrangka is called Kapakan mean axe in indonesia and malay. Gave some ideas how to restore my keris. Anyway how do you differentiate between malay blade, bugis blades and javanese blades?
