Hello Auk,
I am not familiar with this pamor pattern and will leave it to others for comment. From the pictures the pamor appears as patched or peeling-off and not well mixed with the iron base?
Regarding the warangka gayaman, the gandar is made from good quality wood (timoho pelet?) and it may be a single piece with the crosspiece (warangka iras) so a pendok may not be required. Although the crosspiece is shaped in Yogja style, the gandar is too thick at the tip for a Yogja pendok so the sheath may well be from a Central Java village or East Java .
Best regards
