Mataraman Keris - HBV
I recently acquired this keris based on my liking with keris with some historical significance. Though not particularly sure this keris has its historical value, I thought having a keris made during significant era in history would be as close as I can get. Comments whether good or bad would be appreciated.

thks tok janggut and marko.....i am not sure whether HB V era (mid 19 C) is considered old or new, but like I said earlier, this keris was said to be made within the kraton of Sultan Hamengkubuwono V. Within the kraton, there were 2 besalen fully under the patronage of the sultan, one being Sri Manganti and the other one I forgot the name, but went on to create another besalen in Magetan during the Jawa War between VOC and Pangeran Diponegoro.
