Keris - for Tourists?
Hi All,
I'm new here and its my first posting, sorry about my bad englisch, i'm from austria and german is my motherspoken. a few weeks ago i got an keris from a, now died man. he was 35 years ago on an world trip and bring some things back, and this keris. the fitting look like tourist-made, but i don't know, if the blade is old or not. it was very rusty, but i clean it a little bit with soft acid. perhaps anyone can help me to determine the age of the blade? The blade has at the side a long crack, and the surface looks rough, and i see crystalline things on it like forged. thanks a lot for help klaus pic1 all pic2 the surface pic3 detail pic4 the crack |
