Hello,
I think that this is a very interesting thread and this blade is a puzzle to me. I still think that this blade isn't recent but I can be mistaken.
Galvano you clean the peksi? I think to see a split in the top of it from corrosion.
I want to show here three peksi for comparison: a recent Madura blade, an old Java blade and an old Bali blade.
It will be interesting what our javanese members think about this blade.
And I agree with Newsteel that the greneng is a sign of balinese origin while the sogokan is more javanese.
Regards,
sajen
