You, and the rest of us Shahrial .

I do wonder about the fit in the wrongkos; either they are enlarged by use and are pretty old , or they were matched to corresponding sarongs; I do not know .

The fit of the one wilah in the sarong that you show must be very old if it is original to this keris as it sits so deep .
