Need suggestions for keris certification format

Alan, I'm thinking of Certification (Certificate Authenticity by the maker) not Appraisal for the Keris.
The Certification may be consist of:
1. Dhapur
2. Pamor
3. Material used (pamor and slorok)
4. Name/date maker's name.
5. Picture of pawakan/ sor soran, etc
and others

So hopefully for the next 200years our great great grandsons still keep it and nobody will argue about the Keris we are having today..... hopefully.

OK, that's a bit different.

Pauzan used to do a signed certificate that he issued with his keris, but some other makers during the 1980's and '90's considered that this was a break with tradition and held that anybody who was entitled to know (by virtue of knowledge and experience) would know who had made a keris. The piece of paper was not necessary.

However, this issue of a certificate by a maker is absolutely different to what Neo was proposing at the outset.
