Confucius said (or he should have said): "A good price for a kris is the one which you are prepared to pay". Since recently some "nouveaux riches" start to buy krisses from the major auction houses at crazy prices and this is bad news for the collectors with a light purse....
I recently bought this nice and original (although very small) kris on Ebay for 12 times less than the above piece , this is what I consider as a good deal
