Pak Rahman,
The men whose make the Wrangka not Empu, but called Mranggi. The Empu not making the Wrangka
Discontinued, I mean not made again by Mranggi worker. Perhaps the market not too interesting with wrangka like this. I don't know too much about the reason.
But, it's too hard to find the Wrangka like this in "New Made" except we ordering to Mranggi worker.
Here I posted some old wrangka which hard to find at keris market in New Made.
Perhaps you right that the wrangka and the blade are Palembang piece. I just don't know how thin this blade ? If this keris is thick, it is Palembang keris.
Best Regards,
