my kris search is OVER!!!

yea, it started at 250, but then i got into somewhat of a bidding war.

i like the semiwavy krises, i dident know how old/new the blade was, perhaps i would have thought differently if i had known, but the blade is sharp and it looks good.

Very recent. Nice shape. Always liked that blade shape.

Yes. it is a nicely crafted blade, but as others have stated, it isn't really an antique kris, my guess being that it was made post WW2.
If you were hoping for a true "battle" kris, i'd say your search continues.
