Ben, you are hardly "polluting" the forum with these keris. As i previously stated, the large majority of keris that most of us collect are village pieces. These, as Alan states, come in all different levels of quality from appalling to excellent. I would also state that the simplicity of a dhapur is not an indication of quality. So please have no reservations about posting here. It is what the forum is for and you don't need to feel as if you need to have something exceedingly fine or unusual to warrant posting it.

IS is "image stabilisation"

Its some new sort of electronic trickery whereby the image produced by a camera using very slow shutter speed still comes out nice and sharp.

Effectively it means that you can take pics on auto setting in really bad light and still get halfway decent images.

Don't understand how it works, but it does.

Off topic Alan, but just in case you are truly interested...personally i prefer to consider it magic....

Thanks David.

Yeah, its magic.

I don't really have any interest in it, I was only trying to answer Harley's question.

Thank you David for the explanation, as a new member with almost no knowledge about keris (and taking pictures

), a felt a little em barest to make all these new topic's for these wilah's, but thats what i shall do now.

Alan thank for explaining the IS, but i don't think i have this on my camera, it's just like the wilah's a simple Finepix S1000fd, but I'll do my best to make better pic's.

regards,
Ben

I'm glad Alan jumped in with his knowledge.

The dressed keris you showed us is just a common decent Jogja keris like most of us have in our collection. For the other blades I would try to find a good fitting scabbard and ukiran with mendak as well.

Thats for sure Henk, but i am also glad with the other who are trying to help.

Henk i don't know of have seen my other topic, but the point is, that i want to try to make the sheaths, for me it is fun doing, but therefore i need to know if they are real, an a kind of indication where they coming from.
It takes a fair amount of time to make them, and I've there not the real thing, i don't waist my time on that.
So that is my reason for posting them, and of course any kind of info on them is welcome.

regards,
Ben
