Heavy Java blade
 

A heavy Java? Blade with a long thick pesi. 45.5 long overall, 38cms robust blade.

One of the last few to present. Insights welcome.

With thanks

Interestingly, the end of Pesi has a mark similar to that attributed to the lineage of Magetan, but I am not sure at all if Magetan was the only who did use it.

Hi Gavin, may we please see a birds-eye view of the bottom facing surface of the gonjo?

Hello jagabuwana, I hope these help.

Thank you, Gavin.
I thought that this blade gave a Tuban impression, but it seems that the gonjo doesn't tick all the boxes. Namely the tail of the gonjo appears tapers straight (without a waist) into a point, as opposed to being cut off slightly short to create a squared tip.
Still, to my amateur eyes this keris is Tuban-ish.

With Tuban the sirah cecak is usually accepted as being a bit rounder than this. Yes, I also initially thought Tuban, it looks like Tuban until we get to the gonjo.

I'm currently thinking something from one of the East Jawa classifications, but I have not had time to get into a detailed examination.

Thank you gentlemen, for your insights and the avenues for learning.

For my understanding, from the 2 images posted below, the first being the keris under discussion, that the feature you sought to see on the gonjo is more like that in the second image?

There is an ever so slight curved waist to the keris is question, not particularly noticeable in the photos.

The second image is from another I will upload when time allows. There are 4-5 of these large blades here, all without dress.

With thanks

Gavin

I take the sirah cecak as the primary indicator from an above view, secondary indicator from above I look at the overall profile.

From a side view I consider length first.

If we suspect Tuban from a side view, then we definitely look at the sirah cecak first from above.
