A heavy Java? Blade with a long thick pesi. 45.5 long overall, 38cms robust blade.
One of the last few to present. Insights welcome. With thanks Gav |

Interestingly, the end of Pesi has a mark similar to that attributed to the lineage of Magetan, but I am not sure at all if Magetan was the only who did use it.

Hi Gavin, may we please see a birds-eye view of the bottom facing surface of the gonjo?

Thank you, Gavin.
I thought that this blade gave a Tuban impression, but it seems that the gonjo doesn't tick all the boxes. Namely the tail of the gonjo appears tapers straight (without a waist) into a point, as opposed to being cut off slightly short to create a squared tip. Still, to my amateur eyes this keris is Tuban-ish. |

With Tuban the sirah cecak is usually accepted as being a bit rounder than this. Yes, I also initially thought Tuban, it looks like Tuban until we get to the gonjo.
I'm currently thinking something from one of the East Jawa classifications, but I have not had time to get into a detailed examination. |
