"It's starting to sound like you might be getting more serious about kerns collecting Ariel."

I got 2 interesting ( I think) ones that I showed here, and 3 old ones, Javanese, that were tangguh-ed by somebody as being very old ( down to 14th century!), which may not impress you :-), and they were discussed here years ago, and.... who knows:-)

Maybe it is the keris itself that is trying to tell you something? You know, they have magical powers :-)

Thank you Alan for the kind explanation on the importance of tangguh system in evaluating the quality of a Javanese keris.

Gentlemen,
I have mentioned earlier my 3 kerises that were once discussed on this Forum ( no special Keris section then :-))

Lew was kind enough to help me in locating this thread, so I am citing it here:
