Ujung Gunung pamor and Combong

Please forgive the bad cellphone photos, but i didn't feel up to breaking out the real camera for this.
Here is one more example of this type of pamor, this time on an older keris in my collection that came in East Jawa dress.
I have always considered it Ujung Gunung though others might see this as Junjung Derajat or Raja Abala Raja i suppose.

My thoughts run pretty much the same way as yours, David.

But I know at least one very knowledgeable person in Solo who would initially give that as junjung derajad, however if I were to then call it unjung gunung, it would continue to be called ujung gunung during our conversation.

So does that mean the Solo person & I would be in agreement?

No, not at all.

All it would mean is that I'm a wee bit higher up the ladder.
