Thanks Sajen
I did not hold out much hope. Any opinions on the keris itself would be welcome re quality and scarcity of the horn hilt etc |

Here is an image of the kris. Any thoughts on its overall quality and age notwithstanding it is buffalo horn would be welcome. The scabbard us not original to the kris and is a poor fit.
