Sorry Brekele, i will do my best.

Simply put, i still think this last keris you have posted is a fairly recent one. You do not. That is OK, we all believe what we will.

I am still curious where you think this blade was made. Lombok, Bali, Jawa, Madura...??? Pasikutan is the length of the keris so it is not from there.

Tangguh is a system meant for high level Jawa keris. I don't think it can be properly applied to your keris. Even so, Nom-Noman is a fairly recent tangguh.
When a keris contains many unusual ricikan as this one does it makes me suspicious. Have you ever seen another keris in this form before? Is it in anyone's Pakem? If it truly is old and rare i think any smart keris dealer could have sold it for quite a lot of money. Ask yourself (don't tell us

)how much you paid for it.
I hope this is clearer. Please ask questions if you don't understand my meanings.
