WELCOME TO THE FORUM MAX. COLLECTING KERIS SEEMS TO BE ADDICTIVE ONCE STARTED. IT APPEARS YOU HAVE THREE KERIS ALREADY, TWO MALAY KERIS TAJONG ONE MISSING ITS NOSE AND ANOTHER THAT MAY BE BUGIS BUT I AM FAR FROM AN EXPERT SO WILL LEAVE IT UP TO THOSE MORE KNOWLEDGEABLE TO SAY FOR SURE. NICE EXAMPLES AND THE NOSE CAN BE REPLACED EASY ENOUGH AND PERHAPS SOME MEMBER CAN STEER YOU TO A GOOD RESTORER FOR THE JOB.

Thanks!

Collecting Keris is really addictive... I hope to focus on the Southern Thai Pattani Keris.. And really hope to find one Coteng......

Anyone knows where can I find one?

Welcome to the forum Max. Yes, addictive indeed!

I am afraid that you question about finding a keris coteng can't really be discussed in much detail here as commercial conversation is banned on the forums. After you get through that probational period and are eligible to use the Swap Forum section you could post a "Wanted" request there. I can't point you to specific internet dealers, but they are out there and a Google search for "keris" will no doubt bring up a few hits to explore. Nice old Coteng keris do seem to be a bit scarce though so not every dealer will have one. I do see them from time to time on ePray, though that is a dangerous place for beginner collectors for sure.
