Hello Alan,

I might be wrong, but over the years I have formed the opinion that everybody who collects keris wants a genuine Majapahit Keris. The Real Deal. Something that was made in the old Majapahit kingdom, during the Majapahit era.
Guilty as charged. Any example on which this stone-carving might be based would be perfectly fine with me...

Although the pommel is a bit damaged, the (reverse) grip is obviously the old style and apparently would not lend itself to any kind of pistol grip for optimized stabbing.

Regards,
Kai
