opinions on this keris

Hi montino,

I'm quite sure that this is an old piece. The dapur also is rare. I've never seen a putut kembar (the dapur) with a long narrow blade like a malay anak alang. from what i can see, the pamor on this keris is only pamor wengkon (protective pamor).

This is a keris putut with praying ancestors on each side. Java Solo.
I would try to get another mendak. The one that is now on the keris is a very cheap one.

Here's a better photo of one of the praying men; a few more opinions and I'll tell you the story!

I think i'll have to agree with Sang Keris, it's dapur Putut Kembar...however
the gandik looks as though it's a different piece joined together, rather than shaped from the same bilah.

Hi dear all,

I Agree with Henk and Sang Keris about the Dapor.

But.... Sang Keris said, "hmm... looks somtehing worng with this keris. I don't really think this one is an old keris." .... whats wrong

... But ...... I think so.

If I look closer, the blade can be made from old keris, but it like modificated be came a puthut kembar.
In Indonesia, specificaly Jawa, keris with dapor like this have a deep mystical side, so that many people who can making a keris made a dapor like this......
hope that they can selling with high price to some people whose believe the story or legend.

I have it too..., but I still confused.., it is real or not

Any comment ?
