Mr. Maisey,
thank you so much for your explanation, i will first get the blade cleaner and yes i thought allready to restore the wrongko, by adding a mouth piece in it. so the keris has a good fit. I also wonder sometimes why collectors want to redress a complete ensemble by upgrading it all, Most of the time i keep the dress as it is, or restore it, but keep the original (so called) together. I think it would be difficult to find a Master to uplift the condition in the Netherlands so it might be clean the blade till white and stain it again, and accept the wear on the blade and preserve it for the future. Next step will be the wrongo and we will see how it turns out.
Regards, Martin
