I also did take a gamble on marktplaats here, i recieved it today .
the wranka is nothing, to damaged.

but the blade and the hilt are a good gamble.
the blade is now in a bath for de-rusting.

i.m not sure if the blade is a madurese or east javanes.
pamor is ujung gunung and on the other side maube a batu lapak but i have to
clean it first .

danny

I am curious to see pictures Danny!

Up's, I have been to fast!! Nice blade and the sarung don't look so bad like you write, from the pictures it look restorable. When the blade fit good inside I think it is better to restore it than to look for a other one. (pm me when you need help by this).

Regards,

Detlef

Hi Detlef,

Here some picture,s of the blade , imo madurese and age.
no batu lapak ..

the hilt has a nice patin.

some one has a opinion on the blade , good old one or tong tong....

Wow, so fast stained? Very good job!

I think that the nice blade is from Madura, I like it!

Certainly a gamble that paid off. How bad is the sheath? The pictures don't show...

Looks like the blade has an ujung gunung pamor at the base. Quite unusual for a non-Bugis/Malay blade, I thought.

The whole ensemble looks matching.

Hi Guy,s,

Yes i stained it quite quick, the solustion is strong so it don,t take a lot of time.
the rust was also easy to remove.

There is Ujung Gunung on both side,s , but it won,t come out verry clear , i don,t know why? it,s a pitty.

Here some photo,s of the sheat .

Hi Danny,

like I write you yesterday by e-mail: When the blade fit good inside the sheath I would suggest to restore it, it's a nice timoho sheath and the wood is expensive.

It depend from the material how strong the contrast come out by warangan.

Best regards,

Detlef

This is how the keris looks now after the restore of the sheath.
