Yes, in theory. Flea markets in Italy often have keris and any other kind of blades, swords included, free for sale. Never seen a policeman questioning about such items. According to the law, anybody owing such weapons should get an authorization or at least report the ownership to the police. The problem is that you are not in a position to attest the provenance, since the seller does not make any declaration, and for sure flea markets sellers are not allowed to trade weapons. Quite a confusion....
