I just open Mr.Haryono book and find that the Pasopati keris was estimated as tangguh PB IX. then I remember what Alan said about
:
I have in my possession a copy of the Pakem that was prepared by Ngabei Sawikromo for Pakubuwana IX, completed in 1792 (Jawa). PB IX reigned from 1831 to 1893.
This earlier Surakarta Pakem defines a dhapur pasopati as having a ron dha nunut.
I'm now understand that the book 'dhapur' is simply determine the pakem in PB X era and for the keris before PB X era, it has different ricikan.
Then back to my keris, it also might be made with the guidance of pakem before PB X era. by adding ron dha nunut. I'm still wondering about its age, but I guess that I've been miss understood again. poor me. ' price never lies' I bought it cheap and hope the best tangguh for it. ( old PB keris) what a fool.
I never expect my thread would result this long debate about pakem dan ricikan. but I do enjoy this thread. I gain so much knowledge and information from both of you. please forgive me for my short comments. I find it difficult to express my thought in English. Y
Pak Ganjawulung, I'm wondering why you did not give any comment on my keris age. do you afraid of hurting my feeling when you gonna say "you've been tricked again by the keris dealer" . You know well that I really dont care about it. I do have a new strategy dealing with keris dealers. So don't you worry about it. I'm now collecting keris directly from its source. I simply collect keris from people whom keris are not threated well. people who do not apreciated keris as it should be. people who do not want to keep keris in their house. Off course with the help of my dearest mother.
