2 kerises i bought from e-bay turned out to be genuinely old and bertuah (I shall not and will not talk about this) when they were appraised by somebody who had vast experience in keris (the guy lived with his empu father). The 2 kerises currently are my pusakas.

think i need to clarify "i tend to treat them with less respect as i should"

-what i sometimes buy from ebay, mostly cheap new wilah's, cause i like the form and i like them polished. They stay in my desk until i find a gerantim or a tapukan. Then they go point up in a little ploncon, to be admired. I do feel that a kris bought is not the same as a keris given. I do not repair, polish or stain them.....i must admit i put them on their point sometimes.

-the keris that were given to me are in a big ploncon, get there daily dose of dupa and go to the odalan Tumpek Landep where they are washed by a Pemanku (yes there is a balinese temple here, pretty one to)

purchases of keris on ebay is a gamble actually..... out of 10 kerises, we may be lucky once or twice....

since those are already my pusaka (after undergoing tangguh and tayuh process for compatibility with my character / profession), there would be no chance of me uploading them. Sorry Jean....
