Today's find a Keris Lurus with a Warangka Iras of Amboina wood. A Surakarta style Ukiran and the blade has geger sapi (ada-ada)
For the rest I don't know have to check the books or learn from the experts here.
So let me know what you think.

Regards, Martin.

Very nice item.

This would have been a pretty pricey bit of gear when it was first put together.

Classic.

Hi Mr. Maisey,

I thought so too, the guy I bought it from said that this Keris was nothing special, very plain and simple. I told him that I still wanted to see it and when out of the box I could see immediate that it was an Amboina and Iras Warangka. And when I pulled the Keris out I was attracted to the ridged blade and instinctly felt it is special without knowing more. So had to take it home.

Regards, Martin

From what I believe I can see in the photos, this looks like a class piece of goods. It does need a fair bit of attention, both blade & dress, but it seems to be one of the nicest keris I've seen in a long time.
