Thank you Henk.

Cahaya I'm afraid that is all I have. I will see if I can get some close ups. What sections do you need?

This blade is current era Madura production, possibly from a few years ago, say ten or 15 years ago.

Thanks Alan for clearing this up. I had a few of the mass produced maduran that I bought when I started collecting keris. Because of my ignorance, and the dealers greed, I paid more than USD 500.00 a piece. The quality was slightly higher than those non-pamored tourist craps often locally produced. I guess I was taken for a ride - big time. Never mind, I learned my lesson .

So now they are Madurese rather than Javanese. Does this mean that they need Madura dress?

Hi Jose, I think it means that they are of Maduran manufacture (someone please correct me if I'm incorrect) rather than uniquely Maduran in form.
