Interesting keris sold on E-bay

I get a Sumatran impression from the blade itself ; an observation only FWIW .

I admit to ignorance of the finer points of this ensemble .

the blade is called "charita", said to be from Pattani / northern Peninsula. The sheath looks like coteng, also from Southern Thailand / Singgora area....

It's a coteng keris body with a jawa demam hilt.

Though a bit mismatched, the parts are very nice.

The whole keris seems very nice (and old) in all components
Congraturation

Hello Marco,

unfortunately I am not the happy winner of the auction!

Thank you Penangsang and Kai Wee for decree the origin of this very nice keris.

Someone have a clue what happened with the sheat? Is it an old repair?

I don't think its a repair.

I have seen a lot of Sumatran scabbards made in this way, mostly rencong scabbards.
