Mr. Maisey,
The Tegal warangka and the gandar doesn't fit well my guess is that it is a replacement and the Keris does not fit so well. That's why i called it a Frankenstein. But the warangka is a nice model, so it need some attention. Regards, Martin and yes i do understand your explanation off the pastes. |

Yes Martin, I can see the poor fit of gandar to atasan, but does the keris fit into the scabbard acceptably?
In an older keris it is not at all unusual for a gandar to be replaced with another that does not fit so well, this is usually hidden under a pendok & if necessary the gandar itself is wrapped with cloth, or sometimes only paper. |

It looks like the Gandar on Tegal Keris is backwards. If that is the case, you need to separate Atasan and Gandar to see if the blade fits.

Hello Martin,
The Bali keris is a very nice one, well done! The Tegal keris is worth a similar effort! Regards, Detlef Last edited by Sajen; 1st April 2024 at 08:17 AM. |
