Here's Keris #2
According to the auction, it's a ww2 bringback and supposedly a couple hundred years old.
Like I mentioned before, the edges are covered in file marks. I assume the previous owner tried to sharpen it, but is it possible it was just made this way? There's no greneng, it looks like somebody sharpened that area too. Or do some Kerises just not have greneng?
There's still very faint traces of pamor on the center of the blade, which is very pitted. Do I have any chance of bringing the pamor back if I treat it with waragan? I'm worried the outer layer of the blade was filed off around the edges, so even after etching it'll just be plain steel. If those file marks are definitely not original to the blade, I'd like to try to buff them out.
