If i would have one keris like this ....i would be very very very happy

I saw this one too.
Considering the pictures, the kind of seller and the other keris he offered I also think this is an original ensemble. At least already for a long time.

The price went pretty high imo, But if you want a rare type/variant and can afford it, this is something extraordinairy.

The Cirebon keris he offered also looked very good, old and original and will make a better investment than this odd chinese/bugis/bali combi which will probably be questioned by a lot collectors.

Hi Willem,

yes, I agree. The Cirebon keris he offered was a very hard to come by keris and at last not to expensive.

Ps.

The naga on this keris reminds me of dragons on Brunei cast work. (gong's and kettle's) / Chinese influence.

Gustav, what I mean by "genuine" is fair dinkum, ridgy didge, straight up, made in a keris bearing society for local consumption.

However, were I to find a keris like this at a weekend trash & treasure market, I would sell it as quickly as I could find a buyer for it.

This sort of thing is most definitely not what I have any great regard for.

Unusual does not = good.
