Thank Gustav. Yes, i just recently heard an interesting report on what is known as "link rot". Apparently everything posted on the internet doesn't really stay there forever as they have always been telling us.
But when i went to the links you provided it still gave me their main page and i had to search under "kris" to find this image. I copied the link to the actual item again. lets see if this takes us directly there. I find it interesting that these photos of both sides of this kris still seem to be the only searchable photos of this fairly well known keris.
Also interesting that this photo is even older than i previously suspected, apparently dated to 1863-64.
