Hi,

last week i acquired this Keris with 9 luk, and would like to know more about this one as it has features that i didn't see before.
Like the part above the tjedar (lajar bébék kembar) can it be that the
kembang kacang is forged to pogog model? I could not find it in any of my books about Keris.

Further the blade is very dark and with the right light i can see pamor, but i don't know if a cleaning and washing will reveal it on the photo it appears a bit of light grey.

I would like to know a date for this Keris, is it 19th century or later. I hope Mr. Maisey is able to shed some light on this Keris.
