I found the article again in my cupboard. It tells also the material of the metall that overlays the keris. Copper. No gold and no silver.

Nechesh,

The family legend tells that Charles Knaud studied by a doekoen on Java. He became a complete medicin man and was very famous as the white doekoen.
He was so famous that when the heir of the throne of a javanese royal family became ill, the Sultan demanded him to the palace. Knaud came and saw that the prince was ill due the goena goena, the black magic. Knaud cured the prince and the sultan took Knaud to the room where the heirlooms of the royal family were kept. The sultan gave Knaud the most oldest and precious pusaka, the Knaud keris.

That's the story Nechesh. So study hard and cure everybody you meet. If they like it or not. Who knows someday
