Not surprising i suppose, since that applies to just about everything to do with keris. LOL!
Hello David,
Although I have seen several blades with a dapur similar to yours, it does not exactly match with any description in the books Dhapur, Keris Jawa, and the EK (Roning Teki, Kebo Teki, Kebo Giring). However it almost matches with the description of dapur Kebo Giring in the book Keris Jawa with the exception of 2 lambe gajah instead of 3 on your blade. Dapur Ron Teki is described without a long gandik in the book Dhapur.
So the proposal from Alan of Kebo X looks the best solution...
