I agree. Wouldn't mind some better pics.
On your question, well yes, this keris is somewhat out of stain, so to speak. Still, finding someone to give it the proper Bali treatment might be a bit difficult. For the time being you might just want to keep it oiled.
Might just be the pics, but it looks like the very beginnings of rust might be starting up in the sogakan. Might just be dirt. Either way, a good oiling couldn't hurt.
BTW, the blade is very nice as well. Nice and deeply carved.
