[A. G. Maisey]

Yep, I sometimes find it necessary to do the same thing --- and not only with Western World collectors, clarification is sometimes needed with people from Jawa & Bali.

When I think about it, this need for clarification applies in a lot of fields, not just keris. In speaking & writing I think we're all guilty of being a bit imprecise at times.
