Yeah, i was going to address that claim, but then decided to ignore it. The odds of meteoric pamor in this keris is extremely unlikely. The meteoric pamor claim is one you often hear from people trying too hard to sell a keris. I would say that the blade is indeed sincerely old. Frankly the older the blade is the more likely there would not be meteorite in the pamor as i have still never seen any evidence that the material was used in any keris prior to the Prambanan meteorite fall in the late 18th century. It is a debate that has been argued so many times that is seem useless to enter into again unless someone can truly offer some valid evidence that the use of meteorite in keris was an acknowledged process BEFORE the Prambanan Fall.
