Hello David,

by time I will find a matching sheath.

Have a look at post # 14 from the first link you have posted, I think this you will have every time again, several names for the same thing. But equal how we name this dapur what I never have seen before by this form is the small "hook" at the gandik area in up.

Would be interesting to know if someone other have seen this before.

Regards,

Detlef

Agreed about names and the name game in general. Just wanted to pass on the name i was familiar with. And i did indeed notice the "hook". Perhaps intended as a lembe-gajah. I don't have this feature on my example either.

Yes, you most probable correct since there is a second "hook" over the kembang kacang.

Have recently found this sheath and have had in my storage this pendok. The sheath is blackened and need still some maintain but the wood seems to be nice. Still have to change the handle and mendak and the blade isn't stained until now.

What do you think, is this dress suitable for the blade?

Only want to share with you the pictures from the restored keris.

Nicely restored Detlef. I do love this somewhat rare dhapur. You got a great price on it too.

Thank you David,

I have like you a fondness for kebo dapurs. I have looked long time for a blade like this.

Regards,

Detlef
