interesting comment that Mr A G Maisey. The over cleaned keris is  mine and supposed to be quite old possibly late 19th century/early 20th?. Do you think this is so ? 
 
The latter I don't know as i just pluck out the pic from the net. But be that as it may , irrespective of old or new keris, one would expect the surface look  would be the same ?
