I haven't decide whether to purchase this one or not yet
your expert opinion is expected
Well Donny, let me first say that i wouldn't hold my breathe expecting "expert" opinions on this forum. We are pretty much all students here,albeit some more enlightened than others.
Personally i agree with you that the degree of preservation seems a bit too good for an iron object that has been buried deep in the ground for centuries. This keris form is often seen made by current age makers and artificially aged for an ancient look. Use your own discretion...
