Greetings all,
I have just now acquired a Keris which seems to me to be larger than normal. The seller (who probably knows even less than me!) thought that it is ceremonial rather than for use as a weapon. It is 25 inches long. The blade seems rather thin for use as a weapon. The Keris appears to me to have some age.
Any comments at all, good or bad, will be welcome. I paid very little for it, so not too worried about criticism.
Regards
Brian
