Well exactly Alan. I have already acknowledged that there are different markets. That is why i have only suggested to Dave that he carefully clean his keris and rid it of active rust. I have a hard time seeing how those actions would have an adverse effect on any market.
I have not recommended staining or even re-gluing the sheath, two things that i would probably do with this keris were it in my hands.
