Possible Pajajaran Keris for comment....

[BSMStar]

Thank you marto suwignyo and nechesh!

It seems the verdict is that this is a very old blade.

I have a basic understanding of "Pusaka" yet, my Western mind still struggles to fully reason and understand the complete meaning.

It seems that once the “Honor” of the title of Pusaka is bestowed on an object, it can just as easily be lost or removed. In my thinking, it would seem that Pusaka would be associate with the object in question, rather than being associated with the people in possession of it, no? But it seems, that I am incorrect. Otherwise, once it becomes a Pusaka, it would always remain a Pusaka… true?

No matter, I fell in love with this Keris the first time I laid eyes on it. It called to me in that way that only a Keris can sometimes do…. This Keris has trod the stones of many years and it is not the fault of the Keris that it finds itself in its current condition. It will always have a place of honor and respect in my home… and again treated as an heirloom.

I really, really do appreciate the help you all have given me!. But I always want to learn more!
