Default KERIS BLADE

Hello,

this keris blade appealed my eyes so I give a bid an win it (maybe I am the only one who like this blade?): http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...AMESINDXX%3AIT

Dapur is jalak ruwuh (I think), pamor I can't name. Blade seems in fairly good condition and I think by time I will find a good sarung for it.

What do you think, did I good or was it a mistake to buy it?

Thank you,

Detlef

Thumbs up

A handsome wilah and the pamor seems quite well controlled from what I can see .

It looks like a handsome blade that will clean up and stain nicely i would image. Some people shy away from auctions where the sheaths are so beyond repair...unless you live in Jawa where one can more readily be made. But frankly if i had seen this auction i might have bid as well. Looks like you made a good deal to me...

Oh, and it looks like it could be a proud blade after it is restored! Diamond in the rocks!

Thank you very much gentlemen!
The game on e-bay is sometimes very confusing for me.
I was really surprised that nobody else bid on this one.
Someone in the position to determine the origin of this blade?

Best regards,

Detlef
