New keris I picked up. I know nothing about them. Help!

I think i would agree with that. Keep in mind that there are all quality levels of keris. This is hardly a keraton piece. Really high quality keris can bring a rather high price tag. I think your blade is fairly well made and has a certain elegance to it, but it is not high end work. Ditto again what Rick and other have said of the dress. The blade seems nicer than the furniture.

It appears to me that the set of the luks is not quite on; still, this blade has much charm .
