Thanks for that Jean.

I very much doubt that I will be able to make it to UK, but Switzerland might be a possibility.

However, I'm not just interested in looking at "keris", my interest is early, documented keris.

I've seen and handled a very great number of very fine keris during my life, and although this is something I enjoy, it does really does not do all that much for me any more. What I need is the knowledge that I can gain from close examination of very early pieces that are still in very good condition. This would be like having a time machine, and I'm sure I can learn much from such pieces.
