I had this piece down back the road of my early days in keris collecting. As a newbie back then (nor that I was seasoned enough now..), I was easily distracted by other upcoming potential until I somehow neglected this piece.
So here it is, I was told it was of tangguh Pajang but IMHO it's Mataram, at best. The most puzzling part is the gonjo, where the purpose of wilut and execution of kanyut at the ekor cicak was beyond my comprehension. Hope anybody can give some input, comments or critics wherever necessary. Any of that would be much welcomed, and is pretty much vital in my need to understand this keris better. Otherwise, enjoy some pictures, buddies... |

Well, maybe besutan at the edge, or a replacement gonjo?
I can only guess, coz I don't really know, Dave. |

From the pictures I don't see any steel core and the gonjo seems to properly match with the blade both physically and colour-wise. In spite of the worn-out pamor and iron pitting, the ricikan look neat and sharp (kembang kacang, greneng, etc) so I would assess the blade as probably recent but other opinions are welcome.
