WE KNEW EACH OTHER ABOUT TRICK LIKE THIS HUH ? DID YOU, DEOCON ?

You obviously didn't read the add, did you?
I don't think we met, so we dont know eachother, nor knew eachother.
In case you mean that some seller use tricks to sell I agree, they probably need to do so, I don't.

Maybe you are one of the sellers who is upset as well because of our 1 buck policy? Are you?

Ps its Doecon, not deocon.

Unfortunately, I don't have the answers. Perhaps someone like Boedhi Adhitya, Marto Suwignyo or perhap A.G. Maisey would be able to assist or answer these questions.

Alam, with all respect. Before you seem to be able to conclude that the keris mentioned are not Keraton keris. But when asked about the criteria to do so you have no clue?

...

I'm starting to wonder what is the real purpose of your question
Have a nice day.

Doecon and Sepang, i hope you don't think that this forum is the proper place to get into a dealer's war. I would hate to see this thread digress into such child's play.
As Alam Shah is not a dealer i suspect you may have the wrong impression of what his purpose in starting this thread was. It seems pretty obvious to me and it has brought up some seriously interesting questions which i would love to see answered before you guys start throwing stones and get this thread locked.
I have my own suspicions as to what actually qualifies a keris as a kraton piece (as i am sure Alam Shah does as well), but i also would love to hear what others with more experience with the kraton itself might have to say on the subject.
I will, however, go out on a limb here by saying that i seriously doubt the keris in question here have had anything to do with the kraton by any of the criteria that BluErf brings up. Can't say why......just a feeling i guess.

Thank you David .
I suggest someone start a "What Constitutes A Kraton Keris thread because I am closing this one .
