Hi Gene
I'm glad that these are just old corrosion pits. Vice marks (as well as file/grinding marks) are very nasty on an otherwise fine old keris blade. Congratulations on this piece!
Best...

I fully agree with you, David. It's solely the blade that counts for me. The fittings may be outstanding, but this blade really doesn't make it for me -- in any event, I wouldn't have bought this...

Hi Dan, fine that you cleaned your blade from that rust; this was my most concern about your keris. Regarding the hilt, if you really like it just keep it, because you are the only one who needs to...

Hello Lee
IMO two pieces are Indonesian keris (M12 from Madura, M15 from Surakarta). M14 is a wavy dagger of other origin -- maybe from the Philippines?

Hello Michel
I agree with Detlef: Carita Keprabon, pamor Wos Wutah. The ganja might have been replaced. In any event, in my opinion it's a very nice keris -- congratulations!

Hello Semar
Yes, I believe you that these "notches" are original to your keris. I'm afraid that nobody here can give you a dapur name. This may be frustrating.

An interesting piece! Unfortunately I have no idea of the dapur, too; I cannot find it in any of my reference books.

I fully agree with Alan and Jean: The printing quality and the paper quality of the book "Dhapur" is poor. In my copy two pages are duplicated and two pages are misplaced, but no pages are missing....
