Any opinions?

Very nice cleaning and etching job!

Aaahhhh...that feels better, doesn't it?

I strongly suspect that this keris has had alterations, especially after this cleaning where you can follow the pamor lines. That certainlt doesn't make it junk, but in my eyes it makes it less desirable than it would be in it's original dapur.
Nice cleaning job.

The lower quarter areas does seems modified. The two central grooves (kruwingan) seems to be... the pamor looks 'disturbed'. Probably some other dapur type before it is modified into a Karno Tinanding.

The dapur as it appears now lacks a certain flow and harmony; the execution is not too impressive IMO.

Hi Alam, somehow I tought like you before in first moment I got this dirty blade's pics. (Honestly I'm not good in keris experience but most of my friends in Lombok does very much better than me in this subject).
And then I dialed some mobile numbers to INDO for making sure about this keris
being modified/added or not (also for me to learn).
And Opinions of those numbers was IMPOSIBLE IF THERE ARE MODIFIED/ADDED KERIS IN 80 - 90 YEARS AGO JUST BECAUSE FOR TRADING KERIS.
MODIFIED/ADDED KERIS IS JUST CAME UP ABOUT LESS THAN 25 YEARS AGO WHEN BOOMING OF KERISES TRADING IS STARTING.
GUYS, once again.....I stil learn, those opinion above was just fresh from few DIALLED NUMBERS.

And I'm sure ....I BELIEVED THEM (they are some good friends of me).
No "CHEAT AND CHAT" in our relationship so far.

GUYS, THANK YOU ALL FOR BEING ENGLISH TEACHER FOR ME. NOW I'M OFTEN TO OPEN DICTIONARY AGAIN
