Keris Sundang??

Not a sundang and not old but probably forged in Malaysia rather than Madura. Madurese blades are much more Javanese - even when they try and forge Bugis or Malay style blades. Lots of smiths churning out fakes in Pasir Mas and Bulok Susu these days

Hi guys,

Thank you very much for the input. I guess this is a part and parcel of being a collector anyway.

Confusion and curiosity may lead to many strange places. If this is a newly made that means this is the second mistake i've made in 2 weeks. hehehe... emmm.. hav u guys seen the movie "a series of unfortunate events" ?

Oh, rasdan, I feel your pain.

I've made so many mistaken purchases I can only hope the good deals I find even out the cost both financially and emotionally.

Hi Andrew,

Thanks for your kind support.

Eventually time will heal the pain, but, 2 weeks is inadequate. hehehe..
