I would be extremely cautious in accepting any information provided in Edward Frey's book on keris. The photos are good and provided the captions are cross checked, these photos can be quite useful for ID purposes, as they are clear and distinct and cover a range of styles.
Ha, ha, ha. Agreed. My mention of Frey's attribution is certainly not an endorsement that he is correct.
