Hello,
I have just bought via ebay this keris: http://www.ebay.com/itm/140779165817...84.m1439.l2649 Not for the keris byself but mainly for the nice Cirebon (sea?) ivory handle. Comments are very welcome, Detlef |

Detlef, the sheath is not appropriate for the hilt
![]() I know you didn't buy the blade, but it is nice in its simplicity. If possible please post larger photo(s) with good focus on the hilt once you have it. Congratulations with this nice addition! |
