KERIS BLADE

[Sajen]

Yesterday I won a nice sheath by ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...K%3AMEWNX%3AIT

I hope that I can use it for the keris. Here the pictures from the seller.

If I am getting a distortion free image on my screen, this is a Surakarta blade by a maker based outside the Karaton.

Like I said:- good!

Maybe this blade deserves a dress commissioned for it, rather than a refitted sheath.

Surely you are correct by this but in the moment I don't have the chance to let work one for the blade. Let us see what I can do for the moment with a refitted sheath.

Here now the stained blade with a refitted old sarung, not a solution for aeons but for the moment the blade have a house.
Is someone able to name the pamor?

Thank you, my first impression as well but maybe it's more specific?

I would say this keris has "kulit semongko" pamor.
you have a good taste in "sandangan".
I'm wondering if you also has jogja sandangan in your inventory.
here at my place, we would dress this keris in jogjakarta dress.
that's from my point of view though.
the style of the blade seem to be aroud jogjakarta.
but it all the matter of taste and personal judgement.

Thank you Ferry,

but I choose this sarung with the help of an indonesian friend after the advise from Alan (see post 9). The blade is big and heavy so it seems in my eyes very plausible that it is a Solo blade.

Thank you again and regards,
