Pamor Udan Mas

The pics tell very clearly Paul.

I would definitely accept this blade as stylistically Tuban.

Quite unusual I think. I cannot recall seeing a Tuban blade with manipulated pamor.

The details appear pretty crisp do we know where this has been?

Reason I ask is because we expect Tuban blades to be old, rather than young, but if this went to Europe a two or three hundred years ago, it could well look like this
