Peninsula keris are not really my thing, but some of the content in this thread does interest me sufficiently for me to raise some questions.
When the term Pandai Saras , or Pandai Mamat, or Pandai Somebodyelse is used, does that mean that for an authority on Peninsula keris, that the name given to the keris identifies the maker, or is it the name of a style?
If it is the name of a style, can that style be attributed to a particular span of time?
When making the decision to name a keris as Pandai Somethingorother, what indicators are taken into consideration?
