I do remember the shop when I looked on google streetview. I used to walk a lot in the antique neighbourhood during my lunchbreak when i worked in Amsterdam. Not a keris specialist for sure, or am i getting to personal now?
If so, moderators feel free to delete this.
Anyway, a great dress with Ivory ukiran. No i don't think he is avoiding regulations. Rather a lack of knowledge. The keris itself? Could be an older blade. But if so recently reworked and destroyed for the western market.
Very high price for a great Maduran dress.
