I agree with Xasterix. You will find that names vary from place to place, even on a single island. I would have referred to these as tenegre as well, but i believe Xasterix is correct that the name...

Yes, this is an amazing find. I assume that the blade is also bronze. Since bronze does not rust like ferric materials we have a much better level of preservation.
Here are the photos. you never...

Your new photos have only reinforced my liking of this keris. While it is good to point out the shortcomings of any particular keris, for me in the end it all comes down to "personality". This is...

I can understand that. From my perspective however, it is not always a matter of what i prefer. We all collect for keris for different reasons, but for the most part i am looking for sincere and...

It looks like someone has allowed some rust to slip in on the gonjo of this important keris. :eek:

Nice looking Mahesa Kanthong blade. I like the sunggingan as well. Is this just something you ran across on the internet or do you own it. Kebo/Mahesa keris are another special interest of mine. ;)...

I would agree with you on that. Blades are generally simple too and this does indeed seem to be an authentic ensemble worthy of preserving. I might attempt to replace a hilt if it displays real...

I agree with Alan and would really think twice (or three or four times :D) before i would send a keris back to Indonesia for a refitting. But as suggested, you may be able to find an old wrongko and...

I don't think we see this more bulbous hilt form until the early 20th century though. Looks more like perhaps the 1920s to me. But frankly i'm not sure there has been enough scholarly work on these...

I am in agreement with both Gustav and Alan on this. I believe that if you clean and oil the blade as Alan suggests that you will find that the existing stain will look much better than it does in...

Well, to be be fair, i would say that the blade here is very probably an antique. What these sellers do is to redress old, well worn and mostly unwanted blades in this weird, low quality "blingy"...

Sorry, my in-box was full. Has since been rectified.
Yes, i believe this book is focussed enough on keris that it should be in the keris swap, though it makes sense here to, i suppose. :)

I also suspect that there is likely more than one reason why someone would choose to use human hair in this manner, whether their own or the hair of someone related or close to them.

I have encountered a few keris with hair wrapped around the pesi in the past. My own approach in these cases is to replace that hair, though i do always preserve it in a special container. I do...

By my thinking what is most important is that i am drawn to the keris than how old it is. I will say though that the vast majority of my collection tends to have antique status. This is possibly...
