Lew, i don't think this is a new keris.......but it ain't from 1400 neither. It looks like a fairly nice example of a pamor that is not easily found in older keris and it also has a somewhat unusal dapor as well. It could, of course, be a newer keris that was artifically aged, but i tend to think this keris has some true age to it. Not the date specified, but not new. Still, i don't think i'd pay that price for it either.
