Yes, David, the dark stripe is natural. Consider that the colors in the pic are somewhat exaggerated: the stripe was in fact more brown than black, and the rest very light brown.

Thanks for the clarification Gio. Photos can often be deceiving.

when I saw the sor soran part of the blade, I thought the keris had a ''pesi ceblokan''. Correct me if I am wrong

pesi ceblokan is a term to refer a pesi of keris that was made after the blade was completed. normal pesi is made together with the blade. some old blade has this pesi ceblokan (originally made by the maker), but in recent years I have seen old keris that has weak or broken pesi, has its pesi replaced by ceblokan technique, i.e. new pesi is fitted thru the gonjo and the sorsoran of the blade

Okay, thanks Penangsang. This is as Alan has already suggested, i think. A google serve of the phrase led me to these images on another forum. Unfortunately the google translator makes quite a mess of the Indonesian language. I wasn't able to make much sense of the conversation.
