I find this interesting Anthony. I can't say that i have every been able to "feel" a keris based solely upon a photograph of it. An enviable skill.
I would also point out that these days i believe there are many contemporary keris being made in Jawa as well as Madura. I assume by your comments that what you "feel" from this keris has less to do with the geographic area that the keris was forged and more to do with the assurance you received that your keris was created the "old fashion" way involving prayer, fasting and ritual to create a "living" keris.
