It would be interesting to know from where Ganja Iras got these pieces, from various places or a single source?
Best regards

That's a good question. To my eye the silver work appears very similar (though somewhat stylistically different) as is all these perhaps came out of the same shop.

With the risk of being far too blunt...
Could it be that this thread belongs more or less in the swap section ?

Well. i don't see any indication that Ganja Iras is selling these keris. Of course he also has not returned to answer any of the questions asked these pieces or post any detailed images as requested more than once. You still out there Ganja???
