Brian,
It is very hard to tell how old a keris is. Sometimes it is possible according to dapur and other characteristics to make a guess from what period a blade is.
But i think this blade has some age.
To tell you what pamor type it is is very difficult. The pictures are not sharp enough to see the details on the lower part of the blade. And if I judge the condition of the blade, it looks rather rusty and because of that the pamor has disapeared for a large part. To get the pamor out again the blade should be washed with warangan, but that should be done by somebody who is really able to do that.
How long is the blade? If that is a measuringstaff in cm, it is a real smal blade. Looks like you have a pat rem, a woman's keris.
