Assalamu'alaekum Pak Manshur,

Thank you for identifying the dhapur of the above keris - for me at least, it saved me opening books and searching! Nice to have you posting with your expertise and experience, not to mention photos!

Obviousely my eyes need more training but they seemed to think that the photo you posted above as an example of a Pamekasan keris has luks decidedly more ringkel than the kemba luks on Oversky's keris. Am I correct in this? Please if you can, could you elaborate on the reasons you think Oversky's is a Pamekasan keris? And what would the dates of the tangguh Pamekasan be, approximately? Thank you in advance.

Wassalam,
Selamat Maulud Nabi S.A.W (Happy Birthday of the Prophet (Peace be Upon Him)
