Hi Alan. Hopefully we will see more of this keris eventually as additional photos have been requested more than once, but in the meantime, perhaps you could expand upon your comment on bad execution for some of our members with less experience than you in the actual mechanics of the process. It is always best to display the entire blade along with detail shots when presenting a keris for discussion, but since La Pagura did specifically ask for opinions on the pamor (google translated that word as "prestige") what makes this pamor execution bad and why?
