Hello Alan,

Quote:
During more than twenty years of going along to these shows with my bag of keris I never sold one good, old, Javanese keris. Not one.
What would have been the lower end range of keris you consider good & old?

Quote:
In fact, during all that time not a single potential buyer was sufficiently attracted to the good, old Javanese keris that I had on offer to even pick one up and enquire the price.
I have to admit that this surprised me. It's a safe guess that many beginning collectors are tempted by the more gaudy pieces but not a single collector experienced with old keris in 20 years? Amazing...

Regards,
Kai
