This is exactly the sales pitch every single Indonesian seller of a Keris will use.
In fact, the Keris as it is today exists only since approx. 400 years, and blades made from non-stainless steel do not last even that long in tropical humidity (especially with the traditional yearly acid washings).
I recommend you keep your (faked) appraisal letter and sell the knifes on Ebay - good ones will fetch a few hundred dollars there!

But surely the encrafting with magic will overcome all your supposed 'facts'. ;-)

Reminds me about a small shop between Borobudur and Mendut, which sells a lot of keris.
