Keris panjang restauration project

Detlef, did you say you buy the keris without seeing the blade? I hope you know exactly why you have paid so much money on that

Congratulations Detlef and for that price I would also have taken my chance without any hesitation! The Tapak Kuda hilt with selut is already worth more than the buying price! The blade is a bit rusty and worn-out but shoud be OK after cleaning.

Thank you Jean!

Yes, you are correct, by this purchase wasn't any risk, the fittings already worth what I have paid. All pictures a little bit blurry and I will post more pictures after I have received the keris. The blade is maybe better as we may think by the pictures.

Best regards,

Detlef

I like the handle a lot

I am sure it will turn out very nice after restoring.

Keep us updated on the progress !

Some days ago I have received the keris, it is worth every cent of the buying price. Until now I only found the time to reglue sampir and gandar and repolish the sheath. Hilt is from wood and the blade hasn't to much corrosion and has maybe pamor. Here some just taken pictures.

Hi Chandra,

yes, have bought the keris without seeing the blade, the other pictures I have received after my purchase!

Like Jean have written I don't have seen any risk since the fittings already much more worth as the buying price.

, yes I know exactly why I have paid so much money!

Best regards,

Detlef
