excuse me all, and I appeal to anyone who reads this topic. Please make the effort to enter my way of thinking for a moment...I promise you won't go crazy:

1. I posted a kris (a kris of mine) reversed in the scabbard

2. I was immediately told that a kris had never been seen in that position. I was alone
3. I posted an old example, an example taken from vkf. Now I was no longer the only one but there were two of us
4. I posted other examples... now we were no longer two but 2%
5. I hypothesized the idea, I think with an unsubstantiated image, that the walikat could be the suitable scabbard for those types of kris if you want an insertion according to tradition
6. Finally, I reiterated my thoughts with a last image. That is, it could also be according to tradition that those dhapurs need a rotated head-to-tail insertion


Final result:

it is not possible to go against the rules of Surakarta Karaton hierarchy or anak-anak ASKI. Not possible!
Ok I accept these rules but I would like to see a written, a translation or visual proof of the rule that said that all the keris with these particular dhapur must be inserted in such way
