Hello Alan,
thank you very much for comment, food for thought.
It's late here in Germany and I have to work tomorrow again so only short.
You are correct, the mendak seems to be damaged, like you I am nearly sure about this.
The wrongko is definitively old/antique and very well used over a long time while I agree that the pendok is fitted later to it but this with some understanding and I agree again that it was some time with this wrongko.

I've bought this keris for the price of a two person meal by McDonalds only because I want to be able to handle this unusual piece.
Here two pictures from the auction.
Regards,
Detlef
