1. that Sumatran keris are generally not over 37cm. 2. that the tikel alis is a sign that the keris may be North Coast Jawa. Both my keris and the keris now in Gustav's care seem to carry these two traits. Does it discount a Sumatran origin? You have added some other indicators that might place a keris in either North Coast Jawa or West Java. 1. I can see what might be a gentle curve in the gandik in the OP keris. Mine might also, though if it does the curve is even more subtle. 2. I am uncertain about boto rubuh in my case, though it certainly does not seem to be a standing brick. So here are the rest of the photos of my keris. I see many similarities stylistically to the OP keris, but this, of course, does not necessarily mean they are of the same geographical origin.
