Bali Keris for Comment

A. G. Maisey,
I’m glad my assessment was basically correct. Thanks for the pamor and dhapur info plus the cleaning advice. I think I’ll stick with the WD40 soak.

Gustav,
The Northern Bali info is valuable and I’m glad A. G. Maisey added the name gegodohan. I have another Bali keris with a really narrow sampiran (which means boat and is the Balinese term for the Javanese wranka?). I will post a picture of that keris with this response because I would like to know if it also qualifies as gegodghan and if the hilt can be called cenegan.

Sincerely,
RobT
