Donny, I thank you for asking me for an opinion, but I am very sorry, I am unable to form any opinion on the fine details of a keris from a photo.

Moreover, even if I were to have one of these keris in my hand, and I could form an opinion, I would only whisper that opinion to the maker , were he to ask me.

Frankly, I think it is very presumptuous of anybody who is unable to weld, forge and carve a keris to pass judgement on the work of any maker.

Only a maker is fit to judge the skill of another maker.

I accept that there are those who will disagree with me. They are entitled to their opinions.
