Central Javanese keris for comment

[Sajen]

Here are some pics from the handle. In my opinion not bad but not the best carving quality I've seen so far. And the fit from the blade inside the scabbard.

Blade!

That has come up pretty good Detlef, its nice.

Did you do anything additional to what I suggested?

I don't think I want to add anything to what I've already said, cannot give a legitimate name to the pamor, I think maybe "Banyu Tetes variation" is about as good as I can do.

You're right, the jejeran is not good, this keris could do with something better.

Maybe refit the pendok too, it is not a good fit.

Thank you Alan. And no, not really but I brushed it with WD40.

Thank you again!

You mean the one in the last pictures, I guess. Which sort of jejeran would fit better?

I guess that you speak about the gap in down? I've noticed that as well and will work on the pendok to let it fit better.
