REFERENCE ON KERIS DHAPUR

The second reference, is the famous one -- the keris book of Pangeran (Prince) Hadiwidjaja (1920?)-- one of the King Paku Buwana X's sons. I got the copy (image below) with the permission of Pangeran (Prince) Puger, the younger brother of Pangeran Ngabehi (now, he is the King of Solo, Paku Buwana XIII) quite a couple years ago.

Pangeran Puger is still in his position now, as Pengageng Sasana Pustaka (the head of the Kraton Solo's Library and Kraton Heirloom). This book is now in a very critical condition -- due to the quality of very thin paper (a kind of "kertas minyak" in our Indonesian language).

This book was then copied and adapted by the Damartaji (a keris lovers association in Jakarta), in a more modern appearance under the new title of "Dhapur" (1998) book.

In one page of this original Hadiwidjaja's copy, there is a special "stamp" of Kraton Surakarta seal -- image below...
