I agree that this is a very, VERY bad idea. I even hate when museums painr numbers on.
Frankly Neo, certification something that i have little interest in and don't particularly see as a practical or particularly useful thing, but others may well have different opinions on this. I have never bought a keris for it's storied history. Only the ones that "speak" directly to me with no written certificate of approval...
