Strange Mendak on Yogyakarta Keris

it certainly looks like that and I can't help to feel that replacing the selut, mendak might have been hasty

No, this just proves that the mistake was done a bit earlier...

I assume that Séverin kept the old selut with this keris for future reference and, thus, preserving the history. Still, the current mendak is culturally way more appropriate.
