My first Keris

Hello,

Here's the first keris I bought 8 years ago in Graz (Austria).
This javanese keris is very modest quality. It seems pre WWII. At that time I knew very little about the keris, but I really liked the pamor.

Now when I look, I realize that there is something anormal about ricikan.
Or : someone wanted to remove rust of the blade ( with a very brutal way) and filed down the reliefs.
Either: the original dapur not possessed of Kembang Kacang and it has been created later by an awkward artisan.

What do you think?
