Hi Ben,

Don't quite understand. 1450 guilders is about $850USD. This does not seem a lot of money for a good Majapahit keris. Are you saying that he offered a low price?

Young man! My children are older.

.

My allowance was 35 cents a week when I was 13, but I began my own business when I was ten years old and was making about $5 USD a week. This was VERY BIG money in 1956.
