Kris

Congratulations, a very rare Pamor combination - 4 twisted bars at base of the blade (in a form resembling Pamor Ujung Gunung) and the same Pamor Ujung Gunung done in a common way at the tip of the blade.

Unfortunately Greneng and Kembang Kacang areas are severely reshaped.

(Sorry for using javanese Keris terminology.)

I am not convinced of this. I have certainly seen similar greneng on Moro kris and all kinds of sized and shaped "elephant trunks".

Wow, beautiful pattern and twistcore, can you show please the complete kris?

I also don't think that greneng and kembang kacang (katik) are reshaped, worn yes but doubt that this areas are reshaped.

Great and unusual catch!

The blade came up decent? That's an understatement! Gorgeous!

The scabbard and the handle came together with a broken blade, luckily the clamp fits perfectly, so its just basically transferring the hardware to the new blade, with some grinding to the mouth of the scabbard. I got this at an antique store in Yuma, Arizona.

Chris: Two great looking twist-cores. You did really good. I think both would go late 1800s to very early 1900s. Can't do much better than that. Haven't seen you since the Pasadena Knife Show. That was more than a few years ago................Dave.
