Opinion requested about a keris blade

A. G. Maisey · 29th October 2011, 04:54 AM

Today is the first time I have been able to see this blade.

In my opinion it is original, unaltered, and not recent.

Thank you Alan.

Do you have seen before a blade with this shape/"dhapur"?
Is there a name for this dhapur form or is it unique?

Thank you and regards,

Detlef

Yes, I have seen the same or similar. I don't know if I still have it, or if I've released it from captivity. Off the top of my head I cannot name the dhapur, I'd need to look it up.

Thank you for fast respond. I byself have searched my in sources but don't find something. When you like and find the time it would be nice when you will do.

Kebo giri luk lima.

Ensiklopedi P. 225

shown here is kebo giri lurus, in these forms, you simply use the lurus name and add the number of luk.

Thank you very much Alan. Kebo giri lurus I know and have seen/handled but don't know that you can use the dhapur name as well for blades with luk!

Thank's again,

Yes, you can.Any of the dhapurs of straight keris that get their name from an unusual bottom part of the blade, retain that name and if they have luk, you just give the number of luk. So, if you had a sepang that had five luk, it would be sepang luk lima; karnotinading with three luk would be karnotinanding luk tiga --- and so on.
