I have a Madura keris look bit similar... at least for the etching.

Btw, Jhony, welcome to the forum!

Thanks ALL.

Yeah, i think that`s a new keris or many forumites vote as KLO.

I bought for a cup of starbuck cofee price... i just a bit puzzle from previous thread that Mr.Alan vote as low grade keris and in my novice eyes, seems almost like this one, esp on the pesi. I`ll take the pesi pics and upload later.

Ok, here the pics of pesi.

Confirming a new keris ?

Hi Jhony. It might very well be an older keris, but all the carvings on it are new. Then they give it a heavy-handed acid wash to hide the newness of the carvings. This is a way to take very ordinary old blades and make them marketable.

Well...

I actually like the overall look what ever the quality and pedigree it may posses

Thanks,

Well, it does seem to be somewhat a fantasy dhapur, in that i don't think it would fit into any particularly approved pakem.
