Dear all, I have followed the discussion for long time but worried my English not good for joining the forum.

Today I try for joining the discussion and please accept my apologize if my word is wrong.

Dear galvano, maybe your keris is like Henk said, I also suppose it is new Maduranese origin made (because it made by order, sometimes the Maduranese keris made adopted of another origin), the corrosion and rust maybe caused of unfinished for finishing (kamal) process.

The kamal process not always to fool people to judge the piece as old but for make the blade become harmoniously like Sajen said.

Many of the new Maduranese keris always has ganja tail like buntut urang and has more heavy weight than old keris, so I suppose your keris has ganja buntut urang too.

Sincerely,
Suryo
