The ultimate meteorite Keris!

As much as i hate to get on to this same ol' bend, it was hardly "common" to make keris out of meteoric iron. It was more the exception, reserved for important keris of the day. Meteorite in itself is a rare commodity and the proper nickelous iron that was used on these special keris is even rarer.
Don't know how i could help you on your quest Pusaka, but when you finish i would love to see it posted here.

I can tell you that you will have an extremely hard time finding a keris smith who could actually pull this off and the cost to you will be quite extravagant. But by all means, have at it, mate!
