Quest for info concerning my Keris

hoorn178 · 15th December 2007, 12:34 PM

Dear all,

The last few months I have deeply searched the internet in trying to find more info concerning my keris (see first 5 pictures). I also e-mailed with people all over the world. After a while I almost gave up since I could'n't find simular kerisses. But my luck changed and I have finally found pictures of two kerisses with simular features

. (see the last 3 pictures / many thanks to the kind persons providing them). Is anyone able to tell me more about my keris (age, where it was made, etc, etc). Some say it is a tourist piece but e.g. the goldwork is so beautifull and well done that I have a hard time believing it

Anyway thanks for any comments, good or bad.

Thanks,
Bart.
