Pesi David.

In Javanese "peksi" means "bird".

I am not able to classify this blade from a photo. The gonjo is not acceptable as Tuban, it has West Jawa elements, and elements seen in extreme East Coast Jawa gonjos. The same is true of the wilah itself.

Javanese, yes, more likely than not, but from a photo I can go no further.

Thank you for your replay Mr Maisey. The east Javanese option could be very plausible. Because the last owner from Indonesia was Madurese from east Java. The keris was discussed here by some specialists and they classified it as PB 9 Solo, what i doubted...

David, I cannot confidently give a classification (tangguh) for this big blade from a photo, but I can very confidently say what it is not, and it is most definitely not a Surakarta blade. Not one single tell relates to Surakarta.

Where are these experts who think it is Surakarta located David?

Incidentally, "Alan" will do just fine.
