I see no reason to frown upon modern made keris per se. The keris is a living art form and there are many modern keris being made which are quite good. What i might have less regard for, however, is...

Beautiful keris blade and you did a fine job redressing it. I would say the hilt is not very old, but it is quite attractive and suits this ensemble well. Nice job!

Just adding to our archive base on this particular hilt form. The first one was already posted by Detlef in post #24, but it is rephotographed from a book, so this is a better image.

Thanks Alan. I had considered that, but the way it presents, especially near the base, was a little confusing.

Love this blade! Thanks for showing it.
Any plans to try to loosen the adhesive fixing that hilt so that you turn it around?

This is not unlike the officer's katana my dad had returned with from the Pacific after WWII that my mom made him get rid of when we kids were born. Not so much my dad's regret as my own.

The color definitely makes it look more copper than brass. I have a selut of one of my collection that is copper that was once silver plated so this seems very likely.

Yes, i have never used it, but my understanding is that realgar is not at all consistent in its quality. Shame you felt the need to get rid if your arsenic supply. I would have thought a good lock...

Actually i quite like this keris. I like the pamor, which seems to be wengkon with another pamor i am unsure of. Someone here should know though.

I think pre-WWII is a safe bet. But it could, of course, be older.
I would also place this as East Jawa. Though not a deciding factor, the mendak style is also East Jawa.

As Detlef points out, the lines running down the torso are not Schreger Lines. Schreger Lines present themselves in a cross-hatch pattern. The absence of Schreger Lines does not mean you item is not...

Yes, this is an amazing find. I assume that the blade is also bronze. Since bronze does not rust like ferric materials we have a much better level of preservation.
