Thank's to you too ... Gustav,
I think I've seen perfection like this with the integrity of 95%. a keris from the era Pakubuwono (PB) belongs to my friend. In my knowledge, perfection like that also exist in old kris, but I've seen, not maintained, severe corrosion, many iron pamor are apart or lost, so that we can not see anymore the perfection.
kris with pamor ron kenduru / genduru is one popular motif pamor, was difficult made and a lot of the complexity, but it also attracted many collectors or dealers, and the price is relatively expensive.
Ron = leaf, kenduru = small palm type plant.
post a photo kris kalamisani Surakarta era from the book of 'Encyclopedia of Keris - by Bambang Harsrinuksmo' might be useful.

I just want briefly to bring in focus the several ways to design the "white" parts of this pamor. There seem to be very different solutions, from classical parallel lines till a twisted pamor. On my keris there is a loop in each "palm leaf", interesting feature is, the layers inside this loop become there strongly diagonal, one almost get a feel of pamor mlumah there.

How is this done?
