old keris for comments
Long a gun collector, I bought my first keris last year. Wonderful information from this group & I am very aware of my complete ignorance of this area. Yes, I am told that it is the blade, not the mountings, that matters in a keris, still I just could not pass up this carving at the last Michigan show.
The story that came with it was "somebody's Uncle brought it back from the Philippines after WWII"
