As some of you know, I also own a keris, a single keris from Bali with an ivory hilt in the form of Ravana, nice pamor, and I am restoring it with gold mounts. Already have a silver sleeve which I will gold leaf in part. I must like this puppy because I am putting a lot of money in the gold materials. Has taken me
years to get this far and I'm still not done. This disease is awful. All of the other keris I want are
way out of my price range.
