Because I've seen similar shoddy pieces being sold online from someone in Malaysian Borneo.

I don't know where it originated.

But I've seen an authentic piece in Balinese dress. The real ones are rather rare.

The touristy ones are plenty online...and the seller you mentioned seems to have plenty of these...

Well this should only be viewed to get an idea of what not to do for the new collectors. I got my money back since the seller made false claims on the Keris (should have known this though, never seen a real one with gold adornments and i doubt i ever will).

Thank you to everyone who helped me identify this keris as a tourist peice posing as an antique.

Also i have other weapons such as arrowheads, stone knives, and a really old shotgun that i know aren't fakes, not sure if they are allowed on this site, but if they are i will put up some pics.
