In other words, we can say this keris is newly made, alan?

It is not that I despise newly made keris, but as I try to grow my collection, I would really need to know which is which, hence I can have a really good look at examples such as a true old kerises, a newly made kerises sold as new, a newly made kerises deceived to be old kerises, and so on...

The understanding of metallurgy, especially for Javanese kerises is something I really lacking of, nor that I have nice examples to teach which is good or bad
