ordinary keris

Here goes an ordinary keris with its ordinary warangka, handle, pendok, and mendak.
this is an example of "cheap" keris that usually found in Jakarta keris market.
This might be a new made keris, but who knows???
people may get lucky, buying a very dirty keris and found a good steel under the heavy rust. but mostly we get what we pay for.

Just have these pictures to share.
Any informations would be great. I bought this keris from a frien in Jakarta . I have a suspect this piece might be a new made one. What do you think?

regards,
FERRY

For less than $20/- is it blade only?
or comes with the nice fittings?

if blade only... it's very cheap...
if it comes with the fittings... then it's super dirt cheap...

I want one.

I dont know whether it is just me, but I have this weird feeling that this blade may be artificially aged, but of course, I could be wrong.....
