Good to hear. You do realize that your last post here was something like 9 years ago.

Hope you stick around. Your old website on keris was one of my very first sources for information so many years ago.

Hi all,
The blade looks like a Carita form probably from Pattani. The hilt, I concur with those whom attribute its origin to Madura. The hilt cup, needs replacement whichever that you intend to use. The sheath is a Pattani styled "sari bulan" (crescent moon).

I do have a proper example of this Northern Malay Peninsular ensemble (see attached).
