Gentlemen,

It took some time te respond.
I'm not very handy, so i'm not very keen on dismantling a keris.
(puting it all back together is not an easy task for me.)
Knowing some fellow keris-collectors will visite me later on today made me take the opportunity because at least one of them will be willing and able to put it back together again.
Old for me is at least 100 years.

Regards,

Karel

Thanks for confirming my suspicions on this keris Alan. Can you elaborate at all as to what specifically identifies this keris as having an Aeng Tong-Tong origin as opposed to any other current era keris making center?

Anyone noticed that the the carved female face awfully resembles Lady Liberty?

Not really, but if it does it is probably intentional:- USA is a pretty big market.

Thank you Alan, it did not look obvious to me and I assume that my piece is from the same origin in spite of the authenticity guarantee from the seller....
