Actually i wasn't really asking you exactly how much you paid for this keris, that would be rude. Instead i was suggesting that if you consider for
yourself how much you paid that information might aid in determining whether this dapur is original or altered work.
As for the taxes, i can certainly relate...but alas, there is not a damn thing we can do about them...Life, Death and Taxes...i am afraid there is little else...oh, and keris of course!
