Old Javanese keris for comment

[Jean]

Alexish, could you please show us the pics of the blade inside the scabbard both from side and top view? It will help to assess if the fitting was original or not.

Dear Jean,

My apologies. If I remember correctly, this Keris was auctioned off by Hermann Historica a couple of months ago. The image was saved from their website. I believe that this is still in compliance with the forum rules, because the keris has already been sold. My apologies, in case I have unknowingly breached any forum rules.

Besides my curiosity on the origin of this piece, I am considering whether it is worthwhile asking a mranggi to copy the wrongko design for a keris blade of mine, if it is a genuine old design. I actually quite like the aesthetics of the wrongko design. Any comments on the aesthetics of the wrongko design?

Hi Alexish,

I personally like this style, very pleasing to the eye.
