Hi montino,

I'm quite sure that this is an old piece. The dapur also is rare. I've never seen a putut kembar (the dapur) with a long narrow blade like a malay anak alang. from what i can see, the pamor on this keris is only pamor wengkon (protective pamor).

This is a keris putut with praying ancestors on each side. Java Solo.
I would try to get another mendak. The one that is now on the keris is a very cheap one.

Here's a better photo of one of the praying men; a few more opinions and I'll tell you the story!

Sorry, I forgot; total length 15 1/2 inches, blade length 10 1/2 inches, a small keris.
