Hello Mr. Maisey, thank's for your reply. Today I am happy to buy this keris long time ago. It's true, sometimes I have a moore deep feeling to a keris which will seem to others not so valuable then a piece with ivory or kintah mas. i have some "every day keris" which I think they have still the original dress and the patination show me a little from the life of this piece. Such a keris I will prefer then one of the pieces you can see so often on e-bay, old blade and a new valuable dress. I don't have something against a new dress for a respectable old blade, pls. no missunderstanding. But I don't will get a feeling for a dazzler.
Regards,
sajen
