Hi Alan, I've been meaning to reply on the new lot of pics-got sidetracked with a work in progress (not a keris!) so.............
1-could be meteoric, I've noticed that meteoric can sometimes develop a "coppery" tone, only very slight but this pamor looks that way. Mlumah
2-pamor with a higher proportion of nickel material, could be pure nickel. Mlumah
3-looks like a ferrous nickel alloy without too much nickel , I'll go for native smelted metal-luwu. Miring
4-same as 2. Has a melted look to the nickel, low layer count. Miring
5-could be meteoric, may be high nickel content ferrous alloy. Mlumah.
6-I'll say the same as 3. Mlumah.
I'll try and post a couple of pics myself, the pics may not all be keris blades but they will all be pamor alloys found on keris,
C'mon guys....step up to the plate, have a go!! A good fun learning experience.
Regards, Graham.
