Alam Shah,

Yes, I agree that the blade is not 100% similiar especially on the gold work and the luk number. In respect of having a gold on the blade, I have quoted below from The world Of The Javenese Keris, by Solyom, page 23, "......in part perharps because when patinated its smooth black surface was subtly handsome and in striking contrast to gold, but more perharps because of the powers associated with it" From my personal point of view, if I referred Hartcone's blade, it is not about having a good work of art (gold work), but it is more about to enhance it talismanic value.
