Default Keris

One more point to add is that I have seen one collector having a Toa Chu blade but fitted with the Tajomg hilt and scabbard...

Is that acceptable?

Tok Chu is a quite nebulous concept, yet even then this blade don't look like the one supposedly attributed to Tok Chu, which is short, broad and heavy, and of very good material.

I will not comment on hilt and scabbard.

Thanks.

The blade is an old one which has weathered much. According to the Thail collectors, they have classified it as a Tok Chu.

For me, the hilt and the scabbard are Tajong and the blade I see it differs to the usual blade that has fitted in the Tajong. Any way, just sharing what I learnt from the Thai collectors in Bangkok ... I am not a dealer or seller...

Well, I am not at all a specialist of these krisses but the scabbard looks new or recent to me and the hilt seems to have some age but is not finely carved?
