Rasdan, you are asking me to comment on quality of these keris on the basis of two photos that are less than good and in the incorrect orientation.
I am reluctant to comment on quality, and many other things about keris on the basis of very high quality photos.
Try to look at this from my perspective:- I'm looking at two keris here that from what I can see in these sub-standard photos are extremely ordinary keris. Even if I had these keris in my hand I would not bother to spend more than 5 seconds on either one in an assessment of quality. Now you ask me to make public comments that could offend the owners or influence the opinions of others --- and this on the basis of photos where I cannot really justify my opinion.
This exercise has the potential to make me look like an idiot.
I'm sorry, but I have no further comments to make on either of these keris.
However --- that lack of pamor near the sorsoran on keris #1 is not really acceptable.
