Something does not seem right about this keris. Please correct me if I am wrong.

What is certain is that photos can be misleading, but if I were to judge it by the photo, I would agree that it certainly doesn't look like gold but like gilded silver. Even low karat gold (9 karat) from all what I know doesn't display this kind of patina.
PS: After carefully examining more photos, I noticed the "rainbow" patina doesn't show on all of them so it might just be a photo glitch.
