This piece seems to have stirred a lot of reactions among the collectors
I also don't want to discuss commercial aspects in detail but I agree with Henk that by European and especially Dutch standards this piece is much overpriced. Yes, you will find very expensive krisses or hilts in the antique shops or fairs but they won't sell except to a rich tourist.
Nowadays I think that there is clearly a kris market for the thrifty Western collectors (because of the economic crisis) and an Asian kris market for the more affluent people... Same situation with the French wines, I cannot afford a Chateau Margaux anymore
