Hello All,

I just received my last e-bay grab, here the link:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...=STRK:MEWNX:IT

I am positive surprised, it's a nice and good worked small keris. The five luk blade is without pesi 26,5 cm (10.43 inch) long. The buntut of the sheath is long missing and the gandar is filled with resin and there is a carved circle at the end of the gandar.

What do you think, is it a pure bugis keris? Do you agree the the buntut have been a flat one? Which reason may have the carved circle?

All comments are welcome, thank's in advance.
