Thanks La Pagaru... yasir mahmud is a 'young collector'...now i'm beginning to understand Mr Maisey's comment better! experience and expertise do shows!
A pity though that Alan prefers not to give his opinion because I'd love to learn more, as my untrained eyes think that some examples shown by la pagaru are quite splendid, but obviously Mr Maisey thinks otherwise. I do not want to fall into the trap of buying bugis keris that looks 'sweet' but of questionable merit in future as i can hardly afford to spend money unwisely anymore...
But I do respect Alan's decision if he chooses not to give his opinion further of course.
