This keris was made in Solo about 20 years ago. It is, I believe, the first keris made in modern times using meteoritic pamor

Hello Alan,
Excellent kris indeed, can you tell us who was the maker?
Regarding meteoritic iron, I assume that the materials is now imported from abroad and when did the use of local meteoritic pamor disappear? (I mean except in the kratons).
Unless the subject was already raised in another thread, how do you identify meteoritic pamor? Besides the look and touch feeling, some Indonesians claim that they can feel a sort of electric wave by passing the hand just above the blade, what do you think about it? I tried it with a match but am not sure about the results although I am an amateur dowser.....
Best regards
