I wasn't asked, so please excuse me for butting in, Alan. But I am interested and it's been awhile since your question has gotten a response.

Would this keris permit a Banten classification?

Dhapurs and their names

How does a dhapur get its name?

Relatedly, is there a relationship between the name of the dhapur and the kerises physical form, or with the tuah of the dhapur?

I suspect this might differ on a...

Yep newer, so I guess we can call it kemardikan. The dhapur is tilam upih.

Interesting profile on this one. It's got that claw-like Bugis sepukal silhouette. Edit: or maybe it's just the photo...

Yes I understand, Alan. My observation is that the enthusiasm seems to be because old is associated with being more authentic than more recent productions, or having more power. At least that's how I...

Thank you Alan.

I agree that it's market value now would be decent had it not been fiddled. There seems to be a healthy appetite to pay good money for blades with 'older' classifications like...

Hello Alan, is something like this typically done in order to make the keris more appealing for resale?

I agree with David - nothing simple about it. I really like this keris and I'm quite partial to those robust gonjos. Thanks for sharing, JustYS.

Totally agree Alan, it would be better to use the correct or generally accepted spelling when we can, so as to not cause any confusion.

I believe that a Malay pronunciation of 'serindit' would be with a barely audible t at the end, a subtle glottal stop. I think 'serindi' might just be a closer-to-phonetic rendition of that.

Hello Alan, when you say that the blade fitting is painstaking, are you just thinking of carving out the inlet for the gonjo? Or are you also factoring in hollowing out the gandar?

The pamor goes all the way to the edges. I'm not sure if this means there is no core or if there is a core but it hasn't been exposed. How can I tell?

Alan, I take this to mean 13 luk by the current convention of counting and therefore 11 luk by the old method. Am I understanding correctly?
