Keris Basics

hi
I was more interested in 19th centuries keris indeed and not too old ones since i would like to appreciate a well conserved pamor...to tell the truth, i've never seen the kind of recent and well wrought keris that you all refer too...i might change my position if i had a coup de coeur..but, the point is that i just don't want to be screwed and to buy a keris that is not what the seller indicates...the most expensive ones are often the old ones and i'm just an easy and unexperienced prey for keris sellers here

thanx for sharing ur ideas anyway

Well Michael, one way to avoid being prey is to stay off eBay and only buy from reputable dealers. They can sometimes be wrong themselves, but you stand a much better chance dealing with someone with a reputation for honesty.
