Here two photos of a golden keris (mataran) seen in Yogja during my last trip.
About price....

...(if i bought it my wife properly would ask the divorce)

Don't even touch this keris with a ten-foot pole.

But if you still like it and want to buy it, don't pay too much for it.

Certainly not worth divorcing over.

Looks like new work to me. The kinatah doesn't look particular well done either.

BluErf and David are right!!

Just buy something like this when you're desperately seeking for a reason to divorce.

I think I prefer a bad marriage above loosing money to something like this

Not the best of this type of thing that I've seen, but I wouldn't be prepared to condemn it out of hand. It could well be better in the hand than in the pic. As for price, well, all things have a value, and if the price coincides with the value, then its OK.
