Small Keris, dagger

I'm wondering if the high copper content is supposed to differ the appearance of the finished product from brass ; perhaps a little closer to swaasa when viewed .

James, can we see more pictures of the keris hilt ?

Basically what you have here is brass. The rest are added for various reasons, perhaps some being impurities.

The main percentage of mix (roughly 88%) is copper and zinc = brass.
