Keris Panjang 5 Lok Blade

[Jean]

I attach the pics of 2 supposedly javanese panjang krisses for reference, sorry for the poor quality.

Jean, I've had more than a few Javanese keris panjang, but some of these had non-Javanese blades. I rather feel that a close examination of the two keris you have shown would also point to an origin outside Jawa for the blades.

Thank you Alan, this is why I wrote "supposedly" and expected such comment... The top specimen seems more likely to be non-javanese than the bottom one IMO but it is difficult to tell from the poor pictures and the condition of the blades.
