I'm sorry Auk, but there is nothing more I can say about this keris. The form is unusual, but elements of that unusual form indicate to me an East Jawa origin. It is an old keris, but not immensely old, in your original pics the appearance was vaguely Majapahitish, but in the later pics I can see the material clearly, and I am unable to give it a Mojo label. I doubt that there is much more that anybody could say. I suggest that you should be content with having a nice, unusual , old Javanese keris in fairly good condition.

Frankly, I find it difficult to understand exactly what additional information you need. If you have any specific questions we might be able to provide answers.

Hi mr maisey thanks again fore the replay
i understand its hard to tell from foto,s wat the unusal aspects are.
you said probily from east java?
hoping i can get more judgement about dhapur? geographic origin? tangguh? isi? tuah wat the keris was ment for i wil try put some more information.
the lengt from top til ganja is 32 cm ganja lenght 8cm the peksi in thin not a thick one and at the end a little twisted also i like to know wat kind of pamor it is meanig etc i have a lot of questions hoping i get some more answer

Hello,
There are many possibilities but based upon what I can see I'm in the opinion that your keris has been repaired/altered--or even made to look unusual from day one, I'll call it dapur kreasi baru/owah-owahan or the like --contemporary/non standard dapur (might be once sepang-urubung damar combo which is okay, anything in that direction), tangguh kamardikan--modern/vintage, pamor wos wutah, origin Java-Madura somewhere, I don't have any opinion on tuah/isi. I could be wrong. Nice material but rather lacking on garap I would say, sorry. I wish better condition keris coming your way soon
