[QUOTE=David]If you will forgive me Cal, but based upon your line of questioning so far i get the impression that the keris is a relatively new subject of study for you. One think i can tell you for sure is that the keris is a
lifelong study. I have been collecting and studying keris for decades now and still feel like i am only in the foothills of this mountain that is the keris. What you believe to be a "good look[ing] keris" are not necessarily as desirable as you may currently believe.

Are all keris blades one of a kind? I'm thinking only if they are made around the same time frame can they be alike.
