2 unknown keris

[A. G. Maisey]

Everything you have said is true David.

But my question is intended to be very broad, not restricted to just these couple of keris shown here.

The purpose of the question is to attempt to understand the things that make a keris --- that is:- any keris --- legitimate or not in the eyes of the people who contribute to our discussions.

I'm trying to fathom just how much is understood.
