I know that any of us are only as good as our informants, and this is the reason that I have always tried to find personal informants who are regarded as authorities amongst local people in Jawa. Books are often not all that reliable, and the number of people who really know about keris is becoming less with every passing day.
Thank you Alan and I have corrected my post accordingly.
Regarding your wrongko # 5, I have often read that it was a variation of the daunan style from Madura, without guarantee of course.
