KERIS WITH NICE PARMOR

OK, one with far greater knowledge of such things than i has convinced me that this keris is indeed of recent manufacture.

I guess that's why i left that little disclaimer in my first post, just a gut feeling. It really gets tough when they go to all that trouble to make things look old.

Yeah , when I looked at this 'piece' it looked like it hade been left to etch just enough to give it the cloak of age .
IMO most of these unusual and rare original pamors are for the most part already in Indo collections .

What I can't figure out is why a guy from Jogja who writes all that technical info for this "find" has the pendok on backwards.

I note there were only two bidders IIRC .
That's weird .
