Hi Danny,

Are those light spots on the pendok scratches ?
In case they are scratches, I would clean the pendok with copper polish.

It is nice if a keris shows some age, but and oxidised and scratched pendok is not very nice in my opinion.
I have a keris silver pendok and one with a gold plated pendok.
Both will turn black in time, so from time time to time I do clean them a bit.
No abrassives neede for that by the way. just a cotton cloth.

Best regards,
Willem
