Thank you...
I've been studying keris for approx 1 year. from reading books and a observing a small numbers of kerises. I've try to make a comparison to the keris market, but sometimes I have a bad feeling about keris sellers. they often reshape a keris into a popular dapur. in order to fulfill tha market request.
But above all, by studying from the market I can make a little knowledge to differ the old keris from a new made that being treated/made to look old.
