Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] Any experts on meteorite Kiris blades
Hi,
Be very, very careful.
The stories associated with most krises for sale in Indonesia are
apocryphal. I've heard more fantastic stories---truly extraordinary
tales---before the price drops precipitously during the course of
negotiations.
The kris is a very important cultural symbol and there are so many legends
attached to this weapon. My favorite? It was widely believed a kris
would, on its own, slide out of its sheath and fly through the sky to
strike the enemies of its owner.
Meteoritic iron? I've heard this a lot----far too often, in fact---and I
would be extremely suspicious.

Hello all
I have a friend vacationing who ran across an antique store selling three
Indonesian blades claiming to be made of "meteoric iron". While I know
that if you are going to find a meteorite blade it's gonna be Indonesian
or Mike Miller's, I know very little about what they should look like.
If the list holds any experts please have a look and weigh in.
