Small Minangkabau keris

Salamaik Siang harimauhk,

Your photos looked familiar, so I hunted through my 'collection'.
Here is one similar to yours (a gift from a friend who knows next to nothing about edged-weapons). It looks VERY recent (even the inside of the scabbard hasn't had time to collect any dust/dirt/grime.)

Best,

That does indeed look very much like mine. Do you think it might be a repro? I just checked the inside of my sheath with a flashlight. The throat is quite dirty/grimy, but the lower part (where the bilah rests) looks quite clean.
