Keris panjang restauration project

Sajen · 4th September 2013, 10:49 PM

When I see this ebay listing: http://www.ebay.com/itm/300957805629...84.m1439.l2649
I used direct the "buy-it-now" alternative. Only one picture was provided where you can't see the blade and the hilt only from the back but the pictures I received from the seller after my purchase wasn't disappointing. The scabbard need a new buntut but all other is an easy exercise IMHO.
Here the pictures.

Detlef, did you say you buy the keris without seeing the blade? I hope you know exactly why you have paid so much money on that

Congratulations Detlef and for that price I would also have taken my chance without any hesitation! The Tapak Kuda hilt with selut is already worth more than the buying price! The blade is a bit rusty and worn-out but shoud be OK after cleaning.

Thank you Jean!

Yes, you are correct, by this purchase wasn't any risk, the fittings already worth what I have paid. All pictures a little bit blurry and I will post more pictures after I have received the keris. The blade is maybe better as we may think by the pictures.

Best regards,

Detlef

I like the handle a lot

I am sure it will turn out very nice after restoring.

Keep us updated on the progress !

Hi Chandra,

yes, have bought the keris without seeing the blade, the other pictures I have received after my purchase!

Like Jean have written I don't have seen any risk since the fittings already much more worth as the buying price.

, yes I know exactly why I have paid so much money!

Best regards,

Detlef
