About a month ago I got this keris on ebay; turns out that it was Captain Smash who sold it to me! He sold it because it didn't have any fittings.

Sooo.... here's the keris, fitted out! yeah, I know, it ain't 'echt', or whatever word is used in Indonesia, but I feel that it came out pretty good. Wrangka in Sandang Walikat style, rosewood with Ebony and Pink Ivory wood trim; ukiran of Pink Ivory wood in Balinese style, I think it's 'bondolan'.

Now, can anybody enlighten me as to the pamor and its qualities? and I know, it most probably isn't old, but I bought it because it appealed to me. I tend to go for quality of manufacture and 'vibes' more than age.
