Just received this in the mail.
Bought the keris for the nice Madura sarong it was in.
That might be good because I have some doubts if this naga is original or a later addition....

The keris/wilah itself I think is old. I am surprised though by the structure/texture/colour of the pamor and the length of the peksi. I do not have the impression this is recent work byt on the other hand it is quite different from what I see on a regular basis....

Would like to hear your opinions on this as I am far from specialist in these matters.

Regards, Erik
