I have no idea Green, but one thing I do know about auctions is that sometimes what you see in reported sales is not necessarily the whole story.

Then there is the influence of an auction house description, & the inescapable fact that not a real lot of people have a solid understanding of the keris.

As I said in my initial post to this thread, I really do not want to comment on this keris, I just don't want to upset anybody, there are no pluses in that.

I've possibly already said too much, but I feel that if I can help others see things as I see them, it is perhaps a good thing.
