I've bought it mainly for the hilt, the atasan was broken and I've repaired it and the blade has received a new warangan and I have added a mendak.
I've done this after I've noticed that the wrongko was made for this blade so I have decided to keep the keris as a complete ensemble.

Actually i quite like this keris. I like the pamor, which seems to be wengkon with another pamor i am unsure of. Someone here should know though.
The pelet on the wrongko is also nice, which is probably why this keris was refitted for it.
This hilt form is one i have yet to collect. Seems like a fairly good example of the form.
What is the mendak made of, copper, or possibly suasa?
