Default FYI

Also, the Keris bag (Singap)....

I did not expect to receive this bag with the Keris, so it did not influence my decision to purchase the Keris. I was a bit surprised to see the embroidery work (all the others I have are "plain")... and more than surprised to learn that it contained the initials of Sultan Hamengku Buwana IX!


Are there other Singap out there like this? Was this done to deceive or is there a legitimate reason for the embroidery?

Thank you all again!

PS. Here is a link I found on Ageman vs. Pusaka Tayuhan that states that a Penawang (white iron) made Keris is not a Pusaka. It also refers to each "Kingdom" or Periods as Pusaka.

My question is, was that true back in the 14-16c, since meteorite was not "available" until 18c (or later)?
