I'm actually rather partial to peanuts, David. Probably eat about half a kilo a week of them, washed down with Perrier sometimes, other times with a decent Shiraz. I think in an emegency I could just about live on peanuts.Peanuts and Shiraz, not peanuts and Perrier. Gotta get your fruit somehow.
If this gentleman was referring to me, well, maybe he`s right. All those peanuts over so many years gotta have some sort effect.
I believe this gentleman is located in Perth.
I know a lady living near Perth who is a student of the keris and who has a reasonable level of knowledge.
There is also an Indonesian fellow who runs a business selling goloks and similar things that are made in Bandung. This fellow also knows a little bit about the keris.
If this seller truly wishes to learn what it is he is offering for sale, I dare say I could put him in touch with these people.
If he does not wish to learn, well perhaps he would be wise to beat a strategic retreat and wait a year or so before listing this object again.
