Recently I was able to add this keris to my small collection.
I hope to learn more about it.

I was thinking the form might be megantoro but I was reading this earlier discussion about this form and therefore I am now in doubt.

The gonjo does not have the typical curve at the end (excuse me but I do not know the correct name for that) which would be typical for the gonjo wilut I think?

The handle is Madura but I think the blade might be east Java?

Hope to hear your opinions and learn.

Many thanks in advance, Erik
