Whether a keris is old or recent has very little to do with its quality or its desirability.

Certainly an older keris of high quality has a much higher value than a recent keris of high quality. It is also certain that some collectors prefer older keris, but many collectors focus on the artistic aspects of the keris, & these collectors will have collections that contain large numbers of more recent keris.

Just because a keris has some age, that does not necessarily mean that it is very desirable for all collectors.

It's really very very thin !
