Yes, Semar, it seems yours is a megantara... The specific kruwingan until 3/4 blade is one thing I can see from your picture. Also the combination of keris with luks and straight blade at the tip...

May be I am wrong, but there are some old specimens showing two kembang kacang pogok (?).

Even keris posted by Semar seems to have two, but regarding this picture nobody can be sure about ricikan, of course

.

About lambe gajah: has Marco's keris two of them?

semar · 6th April 2010, 06:44 PM

oke sorry mister maisey look to this one I think this one is also a megantara

Gustav · 6th April 2010, 08:49 PM

Semar, I am afraid this one has zero kembang kacang...

Thank you for the additional picture of your first keris.

Thanks for your carefulness, Gustav. Yes, the two lambe gajah is questionable. (More close up on sor-soran and gandhik section of Mr Guritno's megantara...)

Hi Hans,
This dapur does not match with any known Javanese type but could be specified as Jarang Guyang with some exceptions (the only dapur with 7 luks and without kembang kacang).
Best regards

Hello Semar,
In my kris book pages 73 (picture) and 179 (description). Again your blade does not fully match with dapur Jaran guyang, it has no greneng especially.
Best regards

Hi gentlemen,
Two more keris megantara from my collection and to be shown in my new book. Sorry for the picture quality.
Best regards
