Hi Henk,
Thank you for your comment, but unfortunately the history of this keris is rather uncertain. I am the 11th generation of the first Mangkunegaran, Pangeran Samber Nyowo, patih/prime minister to the king of Mataram and the story told was this keris had been around finding its way back to the family ever since, then again I am not sure for the story (it's a good story I can tell my grandchildren to...hehe). But the fact is, the lower part of the keris was not added in a later time. Nothing added to the keris, since my family was not an empu's family. Even the pamor itself is the prabu Hayam Wuruk (some told). Again, I will share any information regarding my keris in the future.
Best regards
