This is a genuine, authentic mid-quality 1970's Touristico Keris.

In the '70's they still used genuine old blades, as this one is, but its Javanese, and the quality of carving is not bad, but they used probably sono wood instead of kayu areng for the dress.

In fact, a piece like this is worth getting hold of as an example, and at the price its really a give-away.

I figured it wasn't the dress that was the cause of interest in this case .

Yeah, i was watching it as well, though not really interested in acquiring it. As Alan pointed out, looks like an old Jawa blade in the touristy Bali dress and certainly well worth the money paid. Looks like it might be a sada saler pamor, which is what raised the interest in me in the first place.

Handle is IMHO a effigy of Nawasari.
