Have bought this keris from ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/310421518597...84.m1439.l2649
I think it is a dapur kebokantong and have given a small bid because it is a rare dapur. Sadly I have only this pictures from the seller since until now I haven't received the keris until now. The sheath is badly broken. Like usual are all comments very welcome. Detlef |

Nice keris Detlef. Sorry about the sheath. I have one of this dhapur as well and have heard it referred to in more than one place as Kebo Giri. Here are a couple of related links.

Hello Dan, Thank you for the compliment but let us wait until I have the blade in hand, I am still unsure about the quality of the blade. Also when the pictures of good quality they are not very meaningful. But still hope that it is a decent blade. Regards, Detlef |

Have recently found this sheath and have had in my storage this pendok. The sheath is blackened and need still some maintain but the wood seems to be nice. Still have to change the handle and mendak and the blade isn't stained until now.
What do you think, is this dress suitable for the blade? |
