I don't think there're any chances for me to obtain the pictures.

Stolen item might be sold to keris brokers or even collectors from the country of origin.The brokers then might even sell them off to other collectors and interested shop owners who had no idea where those kerises come from.
IMO chances for it to be distributed internationally is not impossible.

Investigators should start scouring antique shops now. There's no way the thieves can dispose of 30 kerises at a decent price without a dealer, unless of course they were directed to do so by some evil, covetous collector who wants the kerises for himself.

" unless of course they were directed to do so by some evil, covetous collector who wants the kerises for himself."

That possibility would not be out of the question .
In fact it makes perfect sense .
