Dear members,
may I ask you what you think about this keris blade? Do you think that it is a modified blade or original like this? Excuse the quality of the pictures, I will take better ones soon but I think all what you need to see is to seen. Thank you in advance, Detlef |

That is one hell of a modification if it is, Detlef .
![]() It looks like it was made that way to me . Since you presumably have it in hand; does it look modified to you ? Rick |

Hi Rick,
thank you for fast respond. I am very unsure, it is obviously an old blade with an old gonjo repair and an old worn pesi. I have taken some close ups now where you can see (I hope) why I am a little bit distrustful. Look at the first and fourth picture! And I never have seen before a blade with such a shape/dhapur. I have learned here and by years of collecting to be suspicious. ![]() Regards, Detlef Last edited by Sajen; 23rd October 2011 at 11:03 PM. |

Looks like it was made this way originally to me too. One heck of an odd piece. Recent manufacture?

Hello Jose, also to you thank you for comment. I don't think that the blade is recent, but who know?! ![]() Let us see what others say about this blade, like I am said before: I am suspicious. ![]() Regards, Detlef |

Well, it looks like a variation on a dhapur i have seen called Kebo Giri, though all the ones i have seen, including the one i own myself, are stictlly a lurus dhapur. I have never seen one become a luk blade above the sekar kacang.
All of this form of Kebo blade are exaggerated and have the sekar kacang way up high on the blade. |
