IMO, the iron used is called "besi Malela" that originates from beach sand. I dont think the keris is pamored.

I agree that this probably isn't pamor that you are seeing. I think it might just be the layers of the blade revealed from years of cleanings.
Is it just the photos or does the gonjo look like different metal which isn't nearly as eroded. I wonder if it is a replacement.  Either way, a nice keris.

this is a rare malela wich i say because the layer of the blade is not of aging, years of cleaning nor it is a pamor.. this blade has a "miang perak", which means the metal was forge with silver in a way that the result is as what we see in the pics..

On what do you base your assertion that this blade is forged with silver? It doesn't seem clear from the pictures. Have you handled this keris?
