Help with newly posted Keris

[VVV]

I have just posted another Keris at my gallery at KampungNet.

http://www.kampungnet.com.sg/modules...view_album.php

I would appreciate feedback from those of you who know about Dapur and Pamor if I am correct on my description?

Also, considering this is a forum for Keris lovers, I suggest that the other members also post when they update their collection pages?

Michael,

It is indeed Dapur Tilam Upih. The profile of the blade curve is known as "Medhang Suduk" with ganja "Sebit Rontal" and Tikel Alis "Cekak". The tip of the blade or Pucuk Bilah is in the "Ngudhup" style.

As for the pamor Kembang Lampes(?), I need to check... I only know pamor Sekar Lampes, and this is not it.

Thanks!

I found the reference on the Pamor in Solyom.

Pamor Kembang Lampes it is, then. (Ref: Solyom pg.15, 18-19.)

Here's one for viewing pleasure. Blade acquired from Scobey, Montana and fittings (with the exception of the pendokok) carved by Nik Rashidee Nik Hussein of Kelantan, Malaysia.
