No SLOROK / WOJO for keris sepuh??? Really???

Unfortunately, no ... the owner sold the keris to someone else not long after I took the picture about 7 months ago. Back then I was such a neophyte that when I took pictures I only cared about the detail texture of the iron. I haven't learned the importance of dhapur and wangun yet ...

I will find some other photographs to illustrate what I meant. Meanwhile, without considering the overall dhapur (let's assume it's within the acceptable tangguh standards), is it possible for krisses from Majapahit or before to have different color tone of iron and slorok as seen from the picture?

Thanks for looking at the thread

I'll be back with more images.
