Naga keris - original?

Alan,

As always you are a well of inspiration.

In my opinion the keris is much younger than 1975. I based my opinion mainly on the thick sturdy pesi, hardly untouched by time. Also the cruel naga did strengthen my opinion of very recent manufacture.

Maybe you are able to enlighten us, and tell us something more about the specific styles. Illustrated with some pictures.
As always I'm gladly willing to learn and I'm sure other forummembers will be very happy receiving your lessons.

Here in Holland some large collectors will classify this type of keris as recent manufacture. Based on that knowledge from those collectors I made my statement.
