The considerable number of flaws makes me wonder if the blade had been broken, and because, for whatever reason, the pattern welded blade was recycled and given a new life.
I also wonder if the pamor patterns have any meaning that could be interpreted as would be found on/in a Jawa keris?
We seem to see more and more Moro swords lately that display manipulated work which, I guess, begs the question about Pamors and whether the Malays/ Moros attributed any powers to them, or whether it was just considered fancy work.
