Keris for comment

Greetings All

Don't ask me why I waste my time writing to these sellers on ebay

Maybe it's just my good nature and the need to spread a bit of knowlege. I spotted this keris on ebay last week and wrote to the seller who is a power seller on ebay. I told him what I thought of his keris saying if he was a power seller this would effect his reputation on ebay for selling this type of product. Well I don't have to tell you I received a negative response from him. As you can plainly see his keris is a tourist quality Bali keris with an acid applied pamor. The ganya seems to be one piece the blade does not even look forged to shape it looks to be cut out from sheet steel. The seller gave me permission to post the keris on the forum I guess he does not want to hear that his keris is not the real deal. So please lets hear some opinions on this keris. Btw here is an exerpt of thhis email giving me permission to post.

You have my permission to post a picture of this item wherever you wish. In the meantime, a local collector who DOES know what he is talking about is close to consummating purchase of this excellent item.
