Okay , I went through my little book Pamor Eksotik Tosan Aji; the closest picture to the pamor shown on the 'keris' seems to be a variation on Unthuk Banyu "Water Bubbles" ; here is a more traditional representation of Unthuk Banyu.

According to Tammens who calls it 'foam bubbles' .
Its qualities are positive ; it is considered rare but it is not select and can be owned by anyone .

I await correction .

Hi Dave, I see you posted while I was doing the same .

Here is Pamor Eksotik's illustration of Lar Gangsir (not too helpful)

Hmmm ,
Sure looks the same as my first keris pamor .
I wonder why the Jawa book differs so much ?

Hey, George "Grumpy", I know you are lurking here. Why don't you post? Explain how the kris you own was made. By the way, I bought the brother of the one you own from a forum member.

Bill, There is a smith in my area that has a kris like this one. He does pattern welding & mosaic damascus. Reads the forum, but doesn't post.

Hmmm... well Bill, if he could create something like this, I'm sure many would be interested (including myself).

(I hope you're reading this... Mr smith reader who does not post).

Rick, yours is pamor Untuk Banyu.
(Ref: Ensiklopedi Keris, Reference section, Pg:554).

Most of the twisted core are pamor Lar Gangsir.

This pamor type have a few variations.
