Dear ganjawulung;

A "Dutch" keris with a soccerplayer on it... at the time of The European Soccer Championships... and we won our first game and our opponent was the ruling European Champion!
Do I need to say more???

And you probably know that most Dutch are totally mad about soccer

Yes, I hope it is Ruud van Nistelrooy in your blade. Or maybe the other brilliant one, Wesley Sneijder. I like their way playing soccer, when they defeated "Azzuri" team of Italy 3-0 in their first match in European Championship this week... Or maybe your keris' name is Kanjeng Kiai Nistelrooy?

"Or maybe your keris' name is Kanjeng Kiai Nistelrooy"

Let's put it this way; if Coach Marco van Basten is interested in this keris, I have no problem to rename it in "Kanjeng Kiai van Basten"

(I always liked a house near the sea in the south of France or Bali, nice swimmingpool, my own golfcourt, own gardener...)

Dear Sjors,

No matter what will be the result of Mr Marco van Basten's team in European Championship this time, at least you already have a keris with "raja gundhala" pamor. Unexpected pamor with figurative motif of human being...

dear Sjors,

An old collector told me, "one ball in the rear-bottom of blade is very good. two balls are excellenct". He believed that those signs had a purpose.

Gentlemen,
I'm starting to believe there is something special in my house...
Your comments make me a happy man, not because I have the idea of "making money" by selling this keris ((every keris in my house is dear to me, so I hope I never have to be in the position that I am forced to sell anything, including one of the kerisses).
I realy appreciate your elaborate answers, so, to say it blunt, what do you think: is this more than a "ordinairy" (I hate that word) keris? Something collectors would like to have? (I'm not interested in any "money"value)

greetings, Sjors

Sjors, from the photos i would definitel say that it is a keris i would gladly add to my collection.
Is it more than ordinary? That is a rather difficult and subjective question IMO. I think it might be going too far to say that it is "extraordinary". To me it just looks like a good keris. It is well executed with a good and interesting pamor. But only you would know if there is "something special in your house."
