I am not convinced that this work is from Madura. The pesi seems consistent with those i have seen on Bali and Lombok keris. Can we possibly see a photo looking down on the gonjo.

Reference to the old version of the Ensiklopedi Keris, page 55, buntut urang is a kind of buntut cecak (urang=shrimp), which buntut cecak agreeing as the rearest part after the gandok part of the ganja by seeing from the bottom (not side seeing).

So, maybe buntut cecak has sub-definiton : buntut cecak and buntut urang.

Buntut urang has bolder and flat at the tip (like shrimp tail), another pointed tip known as buntut cecak.

Maybe Alan could explain this. In the gonjo diagram on his website buntut urang is simply the name given to the tail end of the gonjo.

Rust is like a cancer on your keris, it eats and get worse.. and it takes away it engery til its isi and angsar is gone.. " left to a beter place than in the rusty keris ". You can use cocos water (iff posible let it get old cocos water, keep it in a jar for few weeks) to get the most of rust of. And if got it cleaned oil him regulary, i use most of time jasim oil.. be shure its pure oil!
