I agree with you Alan that Jean's examples are of a somewhat higher quality level than the one that started this thread. I would also agree that the term "tourist keris" is one that gets thrown around far too often and is not always correct, but given the molded resin hilt and over all quality of Joshua's keris which looks to have brass "kinatah" instead of gold i am more inclined to accept that designation for this blade.
