Well Alan, i've read a few books. Hardly gives me a high level of knowledge, but enough for some basic understandings.

I am glad that you can see what i was talking about now even if it isn't a clue to anything in particular. Just something i was noticing, but then, as Freud is mused to have said, sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

And i do agree, that first one from Ari's gallery does indeed have a beautiful sogokan...

Its better than nice David, its excellent.

Which causes me to think that perhaps the gonjo may have been replaced on this keris. Not recently, but a long time ago, as the fit to the tungkakan is nowhere near the same level of craftsmanship as is displayed in the rest of the sorsoran.
