It is hard to determine much from the photos but on Donny's 3rd image (side on, greneng to the left) I wonder whether I might be seeing a weld line from above the Singo's head to a point just in front of the pesi

What is happening with Fido's foot?
Perhaps there is just the smallest possibility that this entire object has been built around a genuinely old gonjo? Look at the grain in the metal, and the surface texture : compare the gonjo with the wilah. It is always very difficult to appraise any keris from a photo, and where an educated seller has an intention to deceive, it is almost always impossible to know what one is looking at in an online image. But we can guess. |

Well, Donny, you were lucky not to be able to pay enough for this "treasure"
 Very educative thread, thanks to Alan especially! |

Wow, I have to admit that it almost fooled me
but yea, I got another singo barong, with minuscule penis, worn out due to repeated cleaning and this one got huge intact manhood ... and also considering Alan's opinion on how the blade and the gonjo are different, I can only say SH*T !! how lucky I am to know you all guys many thanks Donny |
