Hello,

Thank you all for your responses.
I apologize for the delay in responding.
Here are photos of the blade in its sheath.

The form of the sirah cecak & the buntut urang is not typical of a keris that can be classified as Bugis, however, it is typical of a keris that can be classified as East Jawa or Madura.

If the blade does indeed carry flat faces, then we would need to consider the possibility of a gonjo replacement at some time in the (probably distant) past.
