Default river found - old ?? don't think so

This was offered to me, the seller said it was found on the river along with 3 more keris blades, but all 3 has no value, except this one is still "thick" and perhaps preserve-able


Note that I never take seller's story for real, and I am not thinking about buying this keris for now

please also note that along with strengthening of islam in Java, most people are no longer wanted to keep a keris, and choose to discard them, and preferred method is to toss them to sea or river


the owner said this blade is Pasopati (dhapur) with unknown pamor, and I differ in opinion as I clearly see the "pudhak sategal" on this blade

so let's start our discussion ...

is it possible this blade (judging from the corrosion) spend quite some time underwater or this was a new blade - aged artificially to look older ?

can we call this one "pasopati" or perhaps Sinom is more appropriate ?

thanks

Donny
