Nice score. I might have even been willing to pay the price of 2 or 3 pizzas.
Just goes to show that such deals still exist. No, this is not a keris of particularly high quality, but it ain't junk either. I certainly wouldn't leave it behind at that price either. |

Thank you Martin, yes, they're not too bad, I agree.
A bit difficult to get this now though. |

Thank you Mr. Maisey. I appreciate the feedback. I see the difference in the quality of the wood you posted. What are the features of the blade that you would regard as Madura? The pendok only has birds. Can a motif be alas alasan without elephants?
Finally what kind of person would have used this keris? What does it say about a person socially? David, I do love deals. They are not abundant these days. How long does it take for a stain to wear off through cleaning, oiling, and wear? |
