hi all,

.... Just try to compare type of "Gonjo", "Greneng", "Tikel Alis" and Metal between my Megantara and BluErf. The shape of gonjo called Gonjo Kelap Lintah. Many gonjo like this made from Majapahit to Mataram Senopaten period (for an old keris).

> Style of Tikel Alis and Sogokan similiar with Majapahit or Sedayu keris;
> Style of Greneng looks like a Majapahit keris;
> Style of Gonjo took a characteristic from Majapahit keris;
> The metal looks like a Javanese keris with wos wutah pamored, but because BluErf posted keris which no warangan, so that it looks like different with Javanese keris. Similiar like a Sumateran keris. But, I don't think so;
> If I look closer, the "C" is too sharp, diffrent with the Greneng which look threadbare. But, I think it is an original.

So, without C, both of these keris looks like similiar. I think it is a Javanese keris

But who knows, because I just try to give more opinion by comparing with another same piece and still try to learn more about Javanese keris.

Same with what I said previously, your keris is an exotic, BluErf.

-------------
To Alam Shah,
If you think that BluErf keris nearest match with Dapur Anoman Luk 5, I don't think so.
The Anoman (Hanuman) keris have Sogokan from bottom (Sorsoran) to top of the blade and it has a Kembang Kacang. It have a different style Luks with Megantara or BluErf keris

.

Warmest Regards,
Mans.
