I'll post a picture when it arrives but I can already guess what the verdict will be.

I guess the moral of the story is that if you buy a keris from somebody who bought it as a tourist, it's probably a tourist keris.
Probably a good moral. There are also less and less sleeper deals to be found out there on ePray. If you have experience, a good eye and lots of luck you can sometimes still score some good deals, but it's always hit or moss. My best advice it to stay away from eBay for now, save up your money for a better quality keris and find a dealer you can put some trust in (there are some out there ).
