Every part is good! And something like this is rare nowadays.

Congrats, and take good care of the keris! I see some rust on one side of the keris.

Nice!

What is those yellowish patch all along the blade?

Hi Moshah,

It's pamor miang.

Actually, if the keris is quickly and thoroughly cleansed of acid after cleaning, the 'pamor miang' areas should not look yellow. It should look grey, though the crystalline structure should remain. This crystalline metal is often found on Peninsula and Sumatran kerises.

Thanks for the explanation, guys.

However, this pamor miang should be different with pasir melela, right?

If I was right, I think I have one keris with this kind of pamor, where the pamor looks like another flow of crystal filler all along the blade. As comparison, it looks like a cement, as opposed to the blade which of course looks like a metal.

When left for several weeks without oil treatment, it's getting yellowish. Just like your blade (khalifah muda's).

Pasir Melela is not similar.

Actually the yellowish effects was due to oiling.
After cleansing of blade, it will be grey with crystaline effect, once application of oil it look a bit yellow, after weeks of the oil absorbing process to the blade (oils dried up), this particular pamor will turn yellow.
