The keris arrived today. I put some polish on it and it brought it back nicely.
There are two nicks in the blade but all in all not a bad little keris.

Hmmm... it looks better now. The selut seems ok, too.
Overall, a nice little ganja iras piece. Thanks for showing.

What is ganja iras? I am not familiar with these specific names.

Thanks

Hi Lew...means the gonjo and the blade are all one piece like that Sumatran Patrem you sold to me. Frankly i can't quite tell from the pics. Often with gonjo iras a line is etched to represent a division. When i first saw pics of that patrem i didn't catch that it was iras so this could be the same. But you should be able to tell in person.
