Jim, for the record the first known fall of a collected iron-bearing meteorite in the books is the Prambanan fall that was found in 1797. It is certainly possible that there were other off the record falls that were used in the manufacture of keris, but there is no old writings from the day that i know of that support it. So we only really have evidence to support the idea of keris made with meteoric ore at the very start of the 19th century. |
