Thank you David for the explanation, as a new member with almost no knowledge about keris (and taking pictures

), a felt a little em barest to make all these new topic's for these wilah's, but thats what i shall do now.

Alan thank for explaining the IS, but i don't think i have this on my camera, it's just like the wilah's a simple Finepix S1000fd, but I'll do my best to make better pic's.

regards,
Ben

I'm glad Alan jumped in with his knowledge.

The dressed keris you showed us is just a common decent Jogja keris like most of us have in our collection. For the other blades I would try to find a good fitting scabbard and ukiran with mendak as well.

Thats for sure Henk, but i am also glad with the other who are trying to help.

Henk i don't know of have seen my other topic, but the point is, that i want to try to make the sheaths, for me it is fun doing, but therefore i need to know if they are real, an a kind of indication where they coming from.
It takes a fair amount of time to make them, and I've there not the real thing, i don't waist my time on that.
So that is my reason for posting them, and of course any kind of info on them is welcome.

regards,
Ben

Just reread my previous post David.

It looks rude and dismissive.

Please accept my apologies.

What I should have said is that yes, its magic, and magic happens:- don't try to understand it.

All this technical stuff is simply too hard for me, all I know is how to press the buttons.

No worries Alan, i didn't take it poorly. I don't spend too much time trying to fathom the inner workings of digital technology either. I understand the "analog" chemistry of black & white photography and what was once "magic" is now my common knowledge. Digital i leave to the Mysteries.
