Dear All,

I wanted to share some bad pictures of this keris. It is a huge one, blade mesures 40 cm. It is becoming pretty impossible for less informed people like me to guess if a keris with such more elaborate pamor is old or aged, yet this one perhaps could have some age. The visible (inappropriate) staining is what stays visible after getting down the rust in a pinaple juice bath.

There is an interesting feature in the blumbangan on one side, a circle like these we discussed a while ago, yet in this case it could be something incidental.
