I'm afraid i must agree with the gang here. I try not to use the term "tourist keris" very often, but with this extravagant variation on the Madurese ladrang dress i am afraid i do not see too many cultural applications where this keris would be considered appropriate. I glad you are not to disappointed and i hope it does not dampen your interest.

Spectacular dress, Corrado, and spectacular blade. But the word spectacular does not bear witness to genuineness. At least it was really cheap, you said.

Me, I was 70 when I got my first keris! Take heart.
