I agree, Jean; not a big deal .

In the hand it is a bit better .

Worth a bump!

Well, I still like it very much, Jussi .

I think the dress has a nice combined 'presence' ; in keeping with the quality of the Wilah .

I guess when I look at The Solyums' book and I see the size of the rough forging required, then think that somewhere in there when this particular blade was forged was pre-planned this keris ...

Well then I am in awe ...

Good pamor work, yet looks to me like a new keris artificially (and aggressively) aged.

A pity, it would be not a bad keris in original state.
