Semar, some people say that pamor tangkis has one blade face with pamor and one blade face without pamor, other people say that pamor tangkis has a different pamor on each blade face.

In any case, we can accept that by one definition, this blade is pamor tangkis.

It could be, as David has suggested, recent production, but quite frankly, from these photos it is impossible for me to guess whether it is , or it is not current production.

The wrongko is not a form that we are accustomed to seeing in current work, the pendok is old, and if the kendit line is not natural, it is very probably an imitation with some age. The same remarks can be applied to the hilt.

Disregarding the question of how old it may or may not be, it is in any case quite a nice piece.
