I was shown a meteorite keris and the seller said it had a pamor made with 70% meteorite content, what do you think, is that even possible????

Considering the absolutely tiny content of meteorite in a meteorite pamor keris I don’t think the high prices for such items is even justified.

In a word Pusaka, NO, i don't think that is possible.
Sellers will tell you many stories in order to sell their wares. Caveat Emptor!
