That's very cool Barry. :cool: Just for the record though, once it has fallen it is a meteorite, not a meteor. Did you try a magnet on this one?

Kiai Carita is right, a new, high quality keris is not cheap to make and collectors must be willing to pay the price for them to keep the art alive. However, they do cost a whole lot less then their...

I second that! I wish these guys would just understand that if they apply themselves properly they will find that there truly is a market for high quality new keris. These shouldn't be looked upon as...

Yes Sepang, i would say that if this were an old keris this would be a rather rare dapor, but it is not a fantasy piece, this keris is based on actual old examples. The workmanship on this one...

Michael, the styles and traditions of Bali and Lombok are just about Identical. I think it would be VERY difficult, without provenence, to judge which precise origin this blade has. Lombok was ruled...

Just to go a bit further, it is the tradition of Balinese blades to be polished to a smooth finish. Also a blade will only be black if treated with Warangan (arsenic and lime) and this must be done...

Nicholas, there is absolutely nothing stange about this keris, it is a fairly typical late 19thC style Balinese keris. This is not BTW, the keris which came up for me in your previous thread. That...

Nicholas, i did finally get to see picture on the first link. Nothing Moro about it, it's purely Balinese. I can't get the picture up too large, but it looks like a very nice one. would love to see...

Lew, i don't think this is a new keris.......but it ain't from 1400 neither. It looks like a fairly nice example of a pamor that is not easily found in older keris and it also has a somewhat unusal...
