Keris from Southern Thailand

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.

Max, i did not pass you post where you state where you sent you keris for restoration. We need to avoid commercial references on the forum.
That said, i do not see the before or after photos attached to this message. If you have them could you upload them to the site. Thanks!

Sorry, I thought it will be good to let people know where they could send their Keris for restoration as there are not many around..

That would be advocating for one commercial operation over another. We like to keep the forums commercial free.

I find it is actually remarkable just how many keris will stand with just a little coaxing. I'd say at least 85% of my collection will do this without much trouble.

Max, just a heads up. You are still on moderated probation like all new members. Your posts therefore need to be cleared by a moderator before they appear on the forum. Please don't keep reposting the same thing. We aren't always on the site, but we will pass your post as soon as possible.
