Bali Keris, original stain and other comments

Hello Willem,

Yes, looks like original Balinese warangan treatment to me, too.

I don't doubt that the blade is antique. The long part of the ganja looks a bit shortened.

Have you a close-up of those 2 triple marks close to the pesi? Are these also present on the other side of the blade? The marks on top of the ganja are even more weird... Congrats - nice acquisition!

Regards,
Kai
