What bothered me about this sword is the blade has a light coat of rust on it but no pitting. The baca-baca is pristine, one would think if the sword was taken apart, the blade would have been cleaned unless of course you wanted to add some age. I have to stay away from keris buying. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...MEWA%3AIT&rd=1 ,just got this today. Looks like the hilt is ivory and the cup is bone. Trouble is they glued them together and stained them. The stain did not stick well to the bone. Doubt much I can do about either the stain or the glue?
