Hi David, thanks for your appreciation..Yes, you are correct, I changed its original sheath because the original one has been damaged and bad appearance, heavily coated in thick oil and incense. Previously, this keris was claimed by the owner as Tumenggung (regent) Jogonegoro heirloom, that's why he treated this keris by offering incense and fragnance oil intensively, and actually hardly to remove it. After I got this keris, I think I need to change the sheath and more over to protect this keris from new rust.
