Thank you, David, for reposting my pictures. Sorry, this was my (and my son's)
first try with posting pictures in this forum, and we simply had no idea how to do it properly ... and thank you for commenting my keris, of course.

Regards,

Heinz

No problem Heinz. I mention this not to call you out per se, but as an opportunity to encourage everyone to post in this manner in order to preserve images in any given thread. There is nothing more frustrating than researching in the archives only to find that all the images are no longer with the thread.
Posting images is pretty easy here. Directly below the post/reply box you will find "Aditional Options". The second section in that area says "Attach Files". Click on "Manage Attachments" and it should all be clear. If you have any problems just ask.

Thumbs up very nice !

That's, in my opinion, a very attractive keris. Just the way I like them

Is the wrangka original ? It seems to be made out of one piece of wood.

A lovely keris. Simple and elegant. Just like Freddy this is actually my favorite appearance for a keris.

Hello Freddy, hello Henk

Thank you! I also like this keris very much and I'm happy that I had a chance
to buy it.

Freddy, you are right, the warangka is indeed made of one piece of wood (gandar iras).
It's obviously old, but I very much doubt that this is the original one.

Regards,

Heinz
