Thank you Alan for the kind explanation on the importance of tangguh system in evaluating the quality of a Javanese keris.

Gentlemen,
I have mentioned earlier my 3 kerises that were once discussed on this Forum ( no special Keris section then :-))

Lew was kind enough to help me in locating this thread, so I am citing it here:

Bumping it up for any new opinions about my older :-) kerises.

Many thanks in advance for any input.

Ariel, I'd be happy to comment, but I cannot comment from the photos that you have already published, I cannot see the form of the wrongko & hilt in the first keris well enough to know what it is, I cannot see the hilt of the second keris, the third keris looks like a dealer's marriage, but again the photos are not sufficient for me to be certain.

If you could photograph all these again, in good light, open shade, and with your camera at right angles to the item photographed I might be able to comment.
