Hello Ganjawulung
Nice to hear that you returned well to Jakarta! Thank you for your comment on my 7-luk keris. Yes, it's a plain keris with all ricikan worn down by age which makes it difficult to determine its original shape. The gandik seems quite long and steep. Any idea about the age? Regards, Heinz |

Heinz, i'm reposting this directly to the forum. What tends to happen when people use outside servers like this to post their photos is that in a few month or a year or so they either remove it from that server or the server disappears altogether leaving us with a discussion and no photographic example to refer to. It would be much appreciated if everyone would use our attachments manager to upload their photos directly to this site so that we might preserve them in our archives for future reference and research. Thanks.

And yes on Sodo Saler. I also agree that the gandik is a bit long and wonder if this isn't a a type of kebo dhapur.
![]() ...and while i don't do tangguh very well and it certainly isn't an applicable system for all keris i think it is far to say that this is an old soul. ![]() |

Thank you, David, for reposting my pictures. Sorry, this was my (and my son's)
first try with posting pictures in this forum, and we simply had no idea how to do it properly ... and thank you for commenting my keris, of course. Regards, Heinz |

Posting images is pretty easy here. Directly below the post/reply box you will find "Aditional Options". The second section in that area says "Attach Files". Click on "Manage Attachments" and it should all be clear. If you have any problems just ask. ![]() |

That's, in my opinion, a very attractive keris. Just the way I like them
![]() Is the wrangka original ? It seems to be made out of one piece of wood. |

A lovely keris. Simple and elegant. Just like Freddy this is actually my favorite appearance for a keris.

Hello Freddy, hello Henk
Thank you! I also like this keris very much and I'm happy that I had a chance to buy it. Freddy, you are right, the warangka is indeed made of one piece of wood (gandar iras). It's obviously old, but I very much doubt that this is the original one. Regards, Heinz |

Another very slim keris from my collection -- this time 13 luk.
A very similar keris (with a much longer tip, however) is shown in the book "The Javanese Kris" by Isaac Groneman, page 84. Heinz |

Thank you, Penangsang. I always had a "Pengging-feeling" with this keris, but I was not brave enough to mention it here.
I'm well aware that Pengging is a very rare and a very difficult tangguh, so I'm still not convinced that my keris is really a Pengging-keris -- despite its similarity with Pengging-style keris. BTW, I got this piece at a very reasonable price ... Regards, Heinz |
