Thank you.

Hi Peter,
To be honest, I'm also not a keris expert but now I'm just learning from my friend and from keris book. But I'm trying to help you with your question, according to Keris encyclopedia by Bambang Harsrinuksmo, it's right the pamor you're asking is one of an adeg pamor, but there are some types of adeg pamor:
1. Adeg iras: the stripes running along the blade and it continues till its ganja.
2. Adeg sapu: if the stripes more than 7 stripes running along the blade and usually "adeg sapu" name is commonly used in east java but not in central java, they just called it "adeg" pamor.
3. Adeg lima wengkon: if there are 5 stripes running along the blade and the thicknes of its stripes appr. 3-5mm. Sometimes it's also called "adeg tiga wengkon" or "gajah gelar" pamor.
4. Janur sinebit pamor is also one of adeg pamor types, the stripes are between 4-5 stripes only, and this janur sinebit pamor is almost similar with gajah gelar pamor, the difference is for janur sinebit the stripes are together in the center, but for gajah gelar pamor the stripes are not in the center but at the edges of the blade.
So in my opinion, the pamor you're asking is pamor "Adeg lima wengkon" or other name "gajah gelar" pamor. It's just my opinion, Im sorry if I might be wrong with my explanation cos as I told you that I'm new to the keris and I'm learning now
Hope it will help you, Peter.
