Hey Green...i have seen keris that appear to me to be made of cast iron. Sometimes these have fake brass kinatah. I haven't seen them in quite a few years, but they were the kind of souvenir item that you find in SEA import stores in the U.S. that have goods from Bali, Jawa and Madura. I don't know if that is what you mean, but even years ago before i had any study on keris i could tell these weren't the real deal.
