Congrats,
very nice keris, seems original to me. But maybe based on the length of the blade not Java. Could be a Bali blade.

Regards,

It is a very nice keris. Javanese. Dapur Ganesha or keris Ganesha named to the elephant. Very nice executed but not an old keris.
But i wouldn't be punished with such a keris.

Hi Henk,
why you think that this keris isn't old?

Well, if my conversion is correct that puts this blade at 15.7 inches. I wouldn't say that is too long for a Javanese blade. It doesn't seem to have a Balinese treatment to the blade surface either. I suppose Lombok is possible.

I don't think it is very old either. Seems at least into the 20th century. Of course better, sharper photos would be helpful as would seeing it with a proper stain.

The greneng (ron dha) doesn't suggest it is Javanese. Close to Bali or Lombok to me. But I love this kind of sublime luks (waves).
