A close up from the Palembang keris. Hope I can remove the rust without a new warangan because I am afraid that the gold get destoyed more by this.

I sold an extremely similar (maybe identical in form) keris many years ago. The only 2 differences were the condition (mine was 'new', no corrosion), and the dress was a Solo ladrangan. Otherwise, the exection could be said to be "out of the same mould".

The Palembang kinatah piece was still very much in perfect condition. Congrats Detlef?

BTW, could u post the pix of the kinatah at the upper part of the gonjo?

Really nice!

Haven't you try to send it for repair? Are people who would do such restoration still exist?

I don't know if there in Indonesia people who can do a restoration like this.

Thank you for respond BluErf. So you think that the elephant is a later addition? That is what I supposed, the outlines to sharp.

There's always the possibility that the kerises are made like that originally.

I have the hope!

The elephant head is more thick than the blade at this point.
