Willem,

it seems you misses all the good stuff...

I would love to add this last one with horn wrangka to my own collection.
Do you know where it went?

No, I did not know the buyer. (it was 2 years ago)
Never heard or saw anything of that keris.

Here the 2 wrangka's together.
Notice the similarities in form.

You might remember the seller. He could tell you more about the buyer?


Yes indeed I see the similarities in form!
Both nice pieces. A pity they slipped through your hands Willem...

I've had contact with the new owner of the Bandjermasin keris and he emailed me some images of the kris, which I was allowed to post in the forum.

Thanks Maurice,
Nice to have the full picture of the blade.
I have enlarged and turned them to get a better view of the blade.

Question

When I see a blade like this I always wonder what it looked like new .
How does the gonjo become seperated like that, from the wilah ?

Couldn't have been that way when made, right ?
