It's interesting that Newsteel and PenangsangII also think this combo is Peninsular Malay.
I hope some of the other Malay keris collectors also share their opinion on this issue. Below is a hilt of a Peninsular Malay Keris Sundang. I have also enclosed the sorsoran area of a Peninsular Malay Keris Panjang. As you can see it doesn't have the "Sumatra C" on the sorsoran. Neither does Bill's blade. VOC were also active in Peninsular Malaysia. They for instance captured Malacca in 1641, in alliance with the sultans of Aceh and Johore, after a long campaign. Michael |

Here is a drawing from a picture of Sultan Abdullah and chiefs of Perak from 1878.
I have also seen the original picture taken and this drawing is resembling in details. Michael Last edited by VVV; 13th May 2008 at 09:11 AM. Reason: Problems with upload of picture |
