In the two photos you present it looks as though the mendaks are different and possibly even the hilt. The stain looks better on the on presented on white background. Is the blue background shot then this keris as you recieved it and the white background after hilt/mendak replacement and a cleaning?

Hello David,
Good observation! The picture with light blue background was the original one from the seller and the one with light grey background was shot by myself after staining the blade and replacing the hilt & mendak. My issue was just to discuss the origin of the warangka and blade.
