Dear friends,
What do you think of this keris, ended listing recently on ebay? Could it be a fake one? Thanks in advance, mykeris. |

Well of course it could be fake. I doubt very much that we could possibly reach any conclusion based solely on these photographs. I notice quite a lot of these coming though ePray on a regular basis. Sometimes they list them as new, sometimes not. Sorting out the difference without the experience and hands-on examination is only guess work IMO.

I will very seldom commit myself on the basis of a photo viewed on a computer screen, however I am prepared to commit myself here.
This keris is most definitely not an old keris. |

Hello gentlemen I received last week this infamous Keris Betok from ebay, it is thick and heavy. As it looks under close examination it looks old, it is hard to tell how old, there are dark brown heavy aged patinas. You all are wright there is nothing close then able having it in your hand to look at very closely and to feel it. The jury is still out, if it is the real McCoy that would be bonus to my collection. Sometimes there will be a reward one who takes the leap of fate.
