Hi Rasjid,

Interestingly new keris!! As much as I agree and support that keris is an art should be kept alive. Your new keris has good metal work and very tight pamor. As far as I can see, the garap (workmanship) also look fairly decent.

But I do not favour new keris that has been put into acid or conditioned to look old. If one would to appreaciate the art and beauty of keris, then let it be good and not reconditioned. Just my opinion...
