Is this a Minang Kabau keris?

Yes I do think so. I know this picture it is also from a website. There it also says this beak is a replacement as the original was gone.

When I have time I will try to make a better picture of the handle. I am thinking of restoring it...

Your Gayo handle may have looked like the one in the following photo (no wonder the beak broke ).

Hullo again Erik,

Thank you for letting me know. I got the photo from my reference gallery but with no note on source. I'll make a note of it so it doesn't happen again. My apologies to the owner.
