My first Keris for comment

Welcome among the doomed - be aware that keris are addictive...

This type of Madurese fittings often comes with subpar blades. This blade is quite decent though! It certainly has some genuine age - IMHO 19th century or older (not of higher quality nor in good shape of preservation which makes reading this blade pretty tough).

Anyway, a really decent first keris!

Regards,
Kai
