My keris

a full description does not make it a genuine kraton keris.
After all, its possible to get "official" documents for every keris in your collection.

Seeing the photo's i agree this is a modern creation, but not less interesting.
the mendak and selut looks like good work to me, and i hope you will share
the photo's with us from the fittings as well.

greetings from the Netherlands.

Well Pusaka, don't dismiss this keris because it doesn't match it's descprition. It's still a very nice keris. Keep in mind that if this keris did truly match that description it would have probably cost you tens of thousands of dollars.

I would also like to see the sheath and belt if possible.

I don’t disagree with what any of you have said, im not sure and I do know that a description does not mean it is genuine. Well as requested here are a few more pics

You sure must agree with all of us that it is a very nice keris after all......
Otherwise you did not aquire it i suppose.

For example i bought last year a keris with that kind of documents too, after research some things seems not correct. No problem, i bought the keris because i liked it. some paper is always handy in a small room!

Sometimes its better to let the keris "speaks for itself" than let others do like the people who want to sell it.

I am sure must have some doubts yourself...your not a greeny in the (small) keris world.
