I won't argue with your theory here n2s, which may well hold true, but i will point out that the Moro kris is not really a thrusting weapon. Most of it's effective wounds would be dealt with a slash...

Hard to believe that only 2 other people bid on this one, and they were bidders who would have ordinarily given you more of a battle for a keris like this. I guess everyone but you must have fallen...

Flavio, what the coconut water and the pineapple juice will do that the stell wool never can is to actually etch your keris to help bring out the pamor pattern. Then, if you are adventurous, you can...

Flavio, age is ALWAYS a tricky thing to determine with keris, especially judging it merely from a few bad ebay photos. I would say, though, that in spite of Ricks concern about high contrast pamor...
