to profile keris buda, I saw in a 'pamor' magazine, published in Indonesia in its first edition in 2006, I see there are already some form of dapur in there, so I thought maybe it could be like that.

AFAIK keris buda is not determined by the shape of the pesi, but by the broad shaped dhapur that is commonly associated with it. If i am wrong about this i hope to be corrected...

I agree with that and I will not be corrected david, it's just I think if square shape 'pesi' found in many Singosari era or earlier.

In my VERY HUMBLE opinion this is not a keris buda

I second that.

BTW, the gonjo got attached with glue and I'm fairly confident that it is not original and a recently made replacement.

I also doubt the pesi - looks like some welding has been done to elongate it? Looks more like poor workmanship than a corroded rectangular pesi IMVHO but this is just guessing from pics. Could you please have a look under magnification?

Regards,
