I collect older Javanese keris with a special interest in the 13 luk dapurs. Now my question: What`s the difference between dapur Sengkelat and dapur Parungsari? Both seem to be almost identical with the exception of the lambe gajah (Sengkelat = 1; Parungsari = 2). Is this the only difference? What about jenggot? I have seen examples of both dapurs with and without jenggot.

I will answer your question based on the book 'dhapur'.
dhapur sangkelat has ricikan : 13 waves, sekar kacang, jalen, lambe gajah, sogokan, tikel alis,sraweyan, greneng (1 ron dha).

dhapur parung sari tipe (A) has ricikan: same as sangkelat, with exeption : 2 lambe gajah, 2 ron dha, 1 rondha nunut.

dhapur parung sari tipe (B) : same as sangkelat with exeption: 2 lambe gajah, with jenggot.

dhapur parung sari tipe (C) : same as sangkelat, with exeption: 2 lambe gajah, and with 2 ron dha.

hope this can help.
