Thanks Sajen,

So it's allways a bargain!  You'r probably right, maybe not what we call "old" but I'm sure it should be at least 60 years old or more because it's in the Netherlands since that time ..., like a lot of keris and keris handles. I sometimes wonder if there's a country outside of Indonesia where you will be able to find more keris than the Netherlands? Last edited by sjors; 13th July 2009 at 10:07 PM. |

For a price like this it's of course a bargain.  The Netherlands have indeed a big resource of keris and hilts and nowadays most of the time by better price than in Indonesia.  Regards, sajen |

But still, thousands of keris population in Jawa, Madura, Bali and Lombok. Old and new products. Yes, I've seen too, some Lombok dealers has dealt with Malaysian collectors too... That's keris life GANJAWULUNG |

Unfortunately I have not been to Indonesia yet...now I will wait a few years untill the youngest is 4 or 5 before we go. I do not like buying from photo's to much so almost all pieces I have were bought in Holland. Of course some the items were laready more recently imported by dealers here but most have been overhere sind the end of the '40s of last century...
A group of Madura handles and my favorite Donoriko in ivory and the favorite in wood in close ups. Regards, Erik |
