Thanks all,
Good to know because I have been insecure about this one - is it or is it not...
It looked more buried, like Bill indicated, than the usual dented acid treated look of the faked Keris Buda.
Otherwise it was very nice in Sabah (as usual), John. Even if I didn't find any old blades I managed to pick up some new Silat moves as well as having a great vacation with my family.
