Unfortunately not anymore in a perfect condition.

Really nice!

Haven't you try to send it for repair? Are people who would do such restoration still exist?

I don't know if there in Indonesia people who can do a restoration like this.

Perhaps the best thing to do is NOT to repair. Maybe the result of repairing the kinatah would be unfavorable, since it is a dying art already...

As u know also there are lots of kerises with lost / stolen kinatah nowadays, and having one still intact (albeit imperfectly) was still sounds like a good news to me..

I think that I will let it unrepaired, only when I find someone who can do it perfect I will change my mind.

Thank you Marco, but the sarung is also not bad with kendit on warangka and hilt.

Is it indeed uler lulut? I have seen this pamor on some maduran blades.

You must have been a good boy.Santa is apparently being very nice to you this year. And so early. Bt this can only mean that yo will only receive a bag of coal on Christmas Day.

As for the Sumatran and the gold, i will say that i also have a Sumatran keris with gold and i was equally worried about washing and staining it. I held my breath and did it anyway and was quite pleased with my results. I can't guarantee your results, but it can be done. Mine is also missing a little bit of the kinatah, but i'm not sure there is anyone who cold restore it for me or if it wold be the best thing to do so.
