Seven village metal?

[Pusaka]

Well the answer as to why the pendok I have is not tarnishing must be that the alloy contains a metal which resists oxidation, I assumed it could be gold however it could also be nickel i.e. some type of nickel brass or bronze mix. My only reason for brining up the subject of Tibetan bowls is as Jean also stated they too resist tarnishing (the old ones) and as I have demonstrated this alloy is known at least in Bali.

All the subjects that have been raised are all on the subject of keris and metallurgy. I don’t mind the subject of unusual alloy keris blades being raised as I myself started this thread with similar statements that I had seen such a blade and buckle myself

As for Caster's keris, my belief still stands and yes it is fine to disagree with it.
