Hi everyone,
Acquired a new keris Madura (to me) and managed to bring it to Australia (thank you again Alan and Pak Rasjid for pointing me into the right direction). Pamor: Lintang Kemukus Dhapur: I guess it is diluar pakem (I’ve used 2 references: Dhapur 1920 and Keris Jawa antara Mistik dan Nalar and could not find a match) Age: Probably not so old but maybe pre 1945? I would really appreciate your comments as part of my learning curves into kerisology Thank you |

That's an attractive keris, but from what i can see i don't believe it to be pre-WWII. I suspect this is a fairly recent creation that has received a bit of an aging treatment. This artificial aging is not always done to deceive. It is s preferred look for some. I only see it as deception if it is presented in the marketplace as old.

I do not know almost anything about krises, but this is definitely a masterpiece of pattern welding. Posibly made by the same pande that made the braided blade that was shown here some time ago.
Anyhow, this is a recently made kris and I believe it is less than 20 years young. |

Nice beefy blade, though almost certainly post 1945. I do like the Madura style ladrang wrongkos.
Dhapur "sinom robyong" came to mind but I think that requires sogokan. |

Thank you David, mariusgmioc and jagabuwana for your feedbacks.
I agree that the blade looks too “intact” to be old. Hi Mariusgmioc, which blade are you reffering to (braided pamor)? Is it the one with pamor Jarot Asem? Hi Jagabuwana, Yes due to the presence of the jenggot, my first thought was Sinom Robyong as well. However like you had mentioned Sinom Robyong was listed with sogokan which did not exist in my blade. Cheers |
