Need suggestions for keris certification format

OK, that's a bit different.

Pauzan used to do a signed certificate that he issued with his keris, but some other makers during the 1980's and '90's considered that this was a break with tradition and held that anybody who was entitled to know (by virtue of knowledge and experience) would know who had made a keris. The piece of paper was not necessary.

However, this issue of a certificate by a maker is absolutely different to what Neo was proposing at the outset.
