Bejo, I'm always intrigued when I view these beautiful photos the members post. It adds to our knowledge & insight. Thank you! And it looks like cardboard is not a bad background to lay the keris on.

I always try to research the background of my acquisitions (mostly non-keris ![]() I loved that ukiran when I first saw it. It looks so well-made. A question (maybe a dumb one): were these pre- or post- WWII kerisses (like Bejo's) made with a steel core, or is the metal used of industrial manufacture with a satisfactory carbon content? I do not see a steel core. ![]() |
