It seems, buntut of gonjo is broken where the third hole was situated (or fourth, if there should be one on sirah cecak side).

Thanks all for your input and info.

Gustav, yes there is a fourth Kinatah (see pic 1)

Allan, why are you so often right ?

Closer inspecition indeed looks like grip marks on the blade (see pic 2)

Best regards,
Willem

I'm not infrequently wrong too, Willem --- even though I've been playing with keris for just about 55 years now.

I agree: vice marks.
As to the marks on top of the ganja, I confess my ignorance.
Nice keris, though, my compliments
