Hello All,
just finised on e-bay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=390038072474 I've never seen a blade like this by a Tajong keris so I am a little bit confused what I buy there. I am very interested what you think about and if you think that it is all old and original. Here the pictures from the seller. Thank's in advance, sajen |

Hello BluErf, hope you kidding. I really don't know about Tajong keris. I see that the selut is a very nice work and also think that the blade is old. sajen |

I agree that the pendokok is very interesting, but the hilt looks late 20th century and the carving looks non-traditional to me.
I couldn't tell you if the blade is at all old, but it doesn't seem to have much finesse. The ricikan looks pretty stiff and not quite right. Still, it is a bit unlike anything i have seen before in some ways. It looks something like a skilled foreigner's attempt at a keris. I don't think it would be fair to call this a proper Tajong. ![]() |

Sorry but this is not the tajong (as we know from northern Malaysia or southern Thailand). All is not the right form, the blade is recently made not by a pandai (empu).

Thank's for the open words from you! So I've paid a lot of money for a nicely worked selut.
