whilst researching the Keris which are made to be sort of looking old (mostly ridiculously so). I came across a site which was writing a long story on how people should be careful with purchasing krises that are made to be look antique . The same site had a shop on line where there were several obviously " antiqued" bethoks. Not only but prices were exorbitant too

I have showed my modern bethok here some time ago, regardless of the fact that it didn't seem to gather much excitement, I still like it.
Its Dhapur seems to be dhapur Dhuwung at least judging but what I have seen from another modernly made kris. |

For what it's worth I like it too Milandro. I thought that when you first shared it and I still feel the same way.
I suspect a lot of other viewers like it too, but with not much else to say about it. |

Thanks, I appreciate your words, it is not so much that I expect validation (although I was somewhat surprised by the the reactions) but this time I simply wanted to submit an example of a VERY similar blade with all the data (including the thumb print of the Empu) especially about the dhapur
