On the other hand I got so many genuine ivory objects (Japanese ivory inro and netsuke, ivory shibayama art, African ivory objects) literally dirt cheap.

This is true for most Asian and African ivory pieces because ivory trading is virtually banned in Europe, but not for kris hilts IMO and according to my recent experience at an international auction.

Regrettable not for Singapore as my dealer friend got spot check by cops and photographs taken. He cannot sell these keris unless no ivory.........
