too true
Alan,
I too wouldn't have a doubt in my mind either. The pursuit in truth of the wonders of the Keris seems to me, to be the sole life's pursuit of yours .
Whilst I walk on the fringe of the Keris world, at this stage of my life, my collecting and interest lays purely in what I find attractive to my eye and certain aspects of the metaphysical influences of design.
I have always found your posts relaible and informative and most of all substantiated. You also clearly note at a number of intersections that aspects about certain topics of the day are outside of your field of expertise and you are not afraid to say so, to read comments like that alone, certainly validates in my eyes your integrity and the fact you you would not need to lie to anyone about anything related to the subject.
From memory, you have noted some parts of old catalogues might not be your proudest moments, for those who have them they are a wealth of information.
I do not know your end game with this mountain of wealth of knowledge Alan, but it is my hope it is put to proper print one day.
Gav
